Not Really News or Noteworthy

Today I was telling a friend about the hectic pace of the past few days.  We had our visit with the social worker on Saturday morning.  (That, by the way, went really well except for the little argument that Cassie and Lacey had over who was going to babysit for Gladis' baby!)  We scuttled from the visit to the school carnival and on to a birthday party.  On Monday, I went from work to a doctor's appointment on to the school book fair.  Tuesday was violin day.  Today I had to deliver Cassie to school early for a field trip.  After work, I picked up Lacey and took her home, then returned to school to wait for Cassie to return from the field trip.  We peeled out of the school parking lot and headed for the dance studio.  I was sitting in the car grading papers during the ballet lesson and actually fell asleep!  Thursday we will attend an open house at the girl's school. 

In response, my friend said, "You love it.  Deep down inside of you, you're loving every minute of it."  

Hmmm.  Had to think about that for a quick moment.  The truth is that I do love every minute of it.  I especially love that Cassie still hugs me before she flits off into the dance studio.  And, I love hearing Lacey say, "You's my ever Mommy!"  I love being able to say "my girls," and "my children" and "my kids."  I love my life  I just wish there were more minutes every day with which to enjoy it!
