Rollercoaster

No one tells you that being a mom is like being on an ever moving emotional roller coaster!

JB is my oldest and in just a few short months will be going off to college...I really can't imagine not being able to see him every day. Now, a senior year does kinda get parents ready because they are gone SO much with sports and friends and church. But, just like this morning he is not up with us because he is exhausted BUT I can go in there and kiss his forehead if I want and I can steal a hug when he gets up. I can't do that in about 6 months...he will be 2 1/2 hours from me and will not be coming home much because he will be playing football.

Then there is my baby Bea...something happened over night...the cute chubby cheeks and thighs are gone and replaced with long legs that I can't seem to find pants long enough to cover. She talks and acts just like her sisters. She is now able to do so many things independently. She can even do chores now and wants to have a chore just like her siblings.

I am just not sure what to think or how to feel. I see my kids loving God and making good choices and caring about things and people around them...I just can't imagine life without them and I know that before I can blink it will be Bea going off to school.

I guess I am just gonna love them and teach them and show them God as much as I can. I am so thankful everyday that I get to be their mom...that God chose me to parent these precious children...I just wish sometimes that I had longer!
