Title: Unusually slow
Post by: Paula on April 16, 2018, 10:02:43 PM
I'm having a really crazy spring, which does affect the way I reply to posts. Yes, I can bit slow and sporadic.  :bat

Not only I have been sick unusally often (still on antibiotics) but there's all kind of other things keeping me busy:
- my son's final high school spring, there's graduation celebration to arrange.
- Children both have/had big competitons (national championships). I was volunteer worker for one of these competitions, sold coffee and sandwiches for two days. 

In april, I have no free "just stay home and hang around" weekends, there's something for every weekend. Last weekend was my father's 70th birthday. Next weeked in my daugher's big competition.
- after that, it's hubby's 50th...We are going away, just two of them for prolonged weekend. No children.

May won't be any easier, since my son graduates 2th june.

Now, if I only survive to july, when my son starts his military service. Then it's just three of us (and probably empty nest syndrome...)  :ohoh

*sigh* yes, he's growing up so fast. Do you realize that when I started here, he was just a baby? And my daughter didn't yet excist?

You're not that old.  I have a friend who is a teacher in a high school here whose mother is only two years older than me.  Of course, her mother was 17 when she had her, but still!  You're not that old.

I was looking at something to do with G'wen the other day and saw that he's listed as 20 now (he was either 17 or 18 when he was created)...which is two real years for every one Triads year and man did I feel old then >.<

Enjoy the busy times!!
