It's Over-Dont Cry

Summer Vacation is Coming To A Screeching Halt

And I don't like it one bit.

Our summer was exactly what we needed.

Some things are hitting me right in the face:

• Megan will be a 30 minute drive away and be gone for 10 hours each day. I have driven her to school for 8 years and worked at her school for the past 2 years. 
• Katherine starts SEMINARY and HIGH SCHOOL all in one breath! 
• Katherine will be a 30 minute drive away and gone for 10 hours each day. I have been very involved in her school and activities.
• We will be waking up at 5 AM every school day for the next 7 years.
• I am truly at the crossroads I have planned for and dreamed about as far as a career, job, business. I am trying not to be scared as I face the amazing possibilities awaiting me.
• Oh, and yes, my house is a mess...it needs some attention. OK, maybe not just some attention...it needs a large amount of attention!

For now, I am taking this advice that I have given others:

Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.

Life is oh so good.
