- TOMORROW'S 'THE DAY' (the first of many) -

well, tomorrow (wednesday) is the first of the 'big days' around here - brit's starting her sophmore year & although she's excited to see her friends & 'get after it', it's hard for her as we've had a blast this summer - she turned 16 this summer & has been a big help (as usual) 'round here with the girls & everything that goes along with it - i'll be swamped this year just in my taxi service as here's the way my (their) schedules are:

takes 'mom's taxi' both waysi love you girls & hope you've an awesome school year - like brit said in her blog, i truly miss the 'baby days' when i rocked you all to sleep - it's not that you've gotten to big for it as you'd all let me do it, but i've gotten to busy & that's unacceptable for me as a mommy - i love nothing more than to watch you close your eyes & drift off to sleep in my arms knowing you feel safe with me as you sniggle up with your 'kids' (kiara: douglas, ruby: silkie & karleigh: silkie) - you're still young enough to get the time back & recapture those memories & i'm making a public statement that this mommy's going to do just that - (brit, once i rock you to sleep, you'll have to awaken to walk yourself to your room as i'm certain i can NOT carry you!) - again girls, i'm proud of each & every one of you & love being your mommy - thanks for being you (all 4 of you!) [hugs!]
