Back to school has no effect on me whatsoever this year. My children are 2 and a half years old and 6 months old. As I see all these parents counting down until their kids go back to school, some with excitement and some with sadness, I'm mentally going over exactly how many days are on MY countdown. Ricky is almost 3... I'm thinking that he'll be starting kindergarten in about 3 years, and Owen will probably start in 5 years. So I've got 5 years plus a week or two until I can have some peace and quiet... and THAT is if I don't have any more children in the next 5 years. I have to admit, some days when I'm really overwhelmed, I wish my countdown was a little shorter.
On one hand I'm lucky that my babies are still young and that I won't be "teaching them to fly" anytime soon. But on the other hand, I do have over 5 years until I can have the house to myself for a significant length of time every day... Nevertheless, I'm sure that these next 5 years will pass in the blink of an eye. Time always has a way of going both too fast and too slow, all at the same time.
