Packin' It Up

Ok, every once in a while I take a long look at my kiddos and think, "this is going by way to fast....." I love being able to stay at home with them, but at the same time I feel as though I don't get to really spend time with them. There is always so many things that need to get done. It makes me sad because they are growing up so fast and I feel as though my head is spinning with the things that I want to do with them and never get a chance to do.

For instance, Alicia is six years old. Six whole years have passed since she was born.. She seems so grown up for six too. More like six going on thirteen... Yikes.....

There are times when I feel as though life is way to busy, that I should pack it all up and head out to the hills of Tennessee ( or some other remote place) and just live with the family..... No outside distractions or influences... Or maybe just move out into the country and homeschool the kids... except realistically, I don't think that I ever could do that either... I have to admit though, I really admire all of you moms (and dads) out there who do homeschool... I just don't know how you do it all..

It's not going to happen.. but there are times, especially late at night when I feel like I want to keep my children small and innocent forever....
