You're Gonna Miss This--Loud Days



I've copied Erica's Memory Lane entry types a couple of times (with more to come), so now I shall copy Mimi's You're Gonna Miss This entry type.
What???...she asked us what we would miss..so really, it's ok to copy, right?

I thought so!

So...as I sit here, "complaining" about my kids on Twitter and Facebook (as one person put it) by posting little quips such as "robinmock is wondering if there is a return policy on children when they become tweens" while listening to the monotonous droning of the Rock Band drums beating beating banging to a song that I can't hear (could she not at least turn up the volume so I could sing along?)...it hit me---I will miss this someday.

Yeh....I think I will.
I know..I know...crazy talk you say! Who would miss all that incessant banging? And the invariable arguing that is soon to follow when one or the other of her brothers decide THEY want a turn to pick the song or bang the gong or whatever it is they do with that game.
But yanno..I'm sure I'll miss it....at some point....when they are all grown up and off at college (they WILL be going off to college one day, won't they? please tell me they will!)

Yeh....I'll miss this.



So for now...I think I'll go join them!
*leaves room singing....."And he's watchin' us all in the eyyyyyye of the tiger"*

Yes. One of these days I will miss it all. Sometimes I have to remind myself of that because honestly, sometimes I think I won't miss it (bad mom I know).

I just came over from Scottsville. Erica sent me.

I can relate to the drumming, Eye of the Tiger and such. I actually enjoyed it and I would join in on occasion. Our XBOX 360 broke so I do miss it and the kids doing their music thing.

I'm following you and I'll be back.
Have a great weekend,

Can I just be honest? There are some things you really WON'T miss - like practicing musical instruments - especially violins and recorders. But other then that, yea, it's hard when it's gone. Good post.

As frustrating as it is sometimes...when they are grown and never to return to their baby/toddler/kid/preteen/teen ages again I am going to miss it all. Even the whining. I will just want my babies back:(

So..it's a new year. And I haven't posted here since..umm..May. I have been thinking of deleting this blog..or at least all the entries in it, and starting over. Maybe a school blog. I see tons of cute ones everyday when I'm perusing pinterest. I could do that. maybe. no...probably not. But I might try. This place did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I have my personal "diary" blogs/journals elsewhere. This one is too public for that anymore. I should make it something fun. I don't want to lose it. Erica made it so cute for me. I don't even know how to do that... or, for that matter, delete the entries I have here. I can't find the "dashboard" button that use to be there. hmmmm.. This may take more time than I thought.

Alphabee Thursday: E is for Expectations

Image
Today is Alphabee-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter E. is for yep...that's right. Expectations Such a big word. Dictionary.com defines it as Something expected. hmmm....kinda vague, so I looked up "EXPECT": 1.to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of 2. to look for with reason or justification: There are certain things I just expect in life: * I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch. * I expect the microwave to pop my popcorn perfectly in about 3 minutes. * I expect whatever I'm plugging into the electrical socket to work when I turn it on. * I expect to be given correct change when paying for a purchase. I also have expectations of people in my life. *I expect people to do what they say they will do *I expect my children to do what I ask of them, when I ask it *I expect kindness instead of rudeness in public *I expect honesty from others. *I expect my dog to jump all over me as...

C is for Crayon

Today is Alphabe-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter C...so let's get right down to it. is for ahhh...the simplicity of crayons! An essential tool in my profession, and yet such a vital part of our lives. Crayons have the ability to color our world. They add life to simple drawings, brighten up the darkest of pictures, and create rainbows on rainy days. After completing a writing assignment my students will often ask...."Do we have to draw a picture?" "Of course you do!! And use your crayons!" I will reply. And then the real feelings of their topic show through. Without color, how dull our lives would be. No yellow sunshiny days. No pink cotton candy. No blue skies and green grass. Lollipops would be tasteless and lemonade would be just water. The fashion industry would go bust and movies would not be worth seeing. Crayons add life. They add spirit. And they make me smile. Even tho a wee little piece of one was the bane of my world on M...
