Mom Taxi

I wish I had started counting the number of times I run up and down the hill
to take and pick up children. I bet it would add up to a trip to California.
I just got back from my fourth trip to pick up my baby from her last elementary school roller skating party. Our exchange program holds once a month skating parties for grades 1-5. She said "mom this is my last skating party and that is so sad, now I guess I have to go to the dances in middle school". I told her she didn't have to go to the dances but what do I know she says her friends will be going so must she. Her siblings haven't been much comfort about the change to middle school. Yes middle school is hell but you don't tell them that you just say its okay and leave it at that. Middle school is a time for tween and teens to try out different personalities to find one to carry over to high school. It ain't pretty. It is three years of constant changes in every way. Gotta love those emerging hormones. This isn't only Meg's last roller skating party its also my last child to be in elementary school. Next year its 2 high schoolers, one graduating, and 2 middle schoolers. How did this happen? I blinked and poof. I had someone comment how busy I must be running around for 4 kids and I reply that I will enjoy it while I can because it will be quiet around here soon enough.

All the running has kept my mind off my June 5th appointment which is quickly approaching. A good friend of mine said worry and it will be nothing don't worry your dead. I guess I will be okay me the big worry wart. I am just hoping to figure out what is going on so I will be able enjoy my life more and get back to living. I am sick of being "under the weather". Plus I need to get back to work so I can get back to helping financially around here again. But like my doctor said take it easy and stop beating yourself up for what you can't do right now. One day at a time. Breath.
