Is time flying for anyone else?

I cannot believe it is almost October! Seriously, I was wondering today why my flowers are starting to die, and then it hit me that this week is the end of September, so it's pretty natural. I am just amazed that September is over! I thought things would settle down after the summer and all the fun things that were going on, and time would stop going by so fast, but things have gotten crazier. Matt resumed his MBA program, so he's gone two nights a week. With Addy starting preschool and dance, I am taking her where she needs to go three days a week, plus I got involved with our stake's "Night of Broadway" production, so I have rehearsals one night a week and Saturday mornings. Then there are just all of the normal things that have to be done. All of this running around has just made it seem like time is flying past. I am having fun, though. This show for the stake has been a lot of fun. I'm doing things that I didn't think I would ever do again, being a mom and all (like singing and dancing onstage). It's a good outlet for me, though. Addy is enjoying the things she is doing also, which makes the running around worth it. I am trying to find time each day to be with the kids for some quiet time, and also have a little quiet time myself. When that doesn't happen, we all get cranky. It's all about finding the right balance, I guess.

First Day of School

Last Thursday was Addy's first day of preschool. We had gone on Wednesday to see her classroom and meet her teacher, so she was all ready and excited. She had a great time. I'm having a hard time believing that I'm old enough to have a preschooler, though. I am also starting to see that this is the beginning of the end, so to speak. I will have a child in school for the next 20+ years! So much for the freedom I've enjoyed. Everything we plan will now have to be coordinated around the school schedule. Oh well, that's how life is. I'm glad Addy is happy to go to school, and I'm excited to hear about all the new things she is learning.
