If time wouldn't fly by.........

Time, you know as it runs through the hour glass so is the days of our lives……yep. In a nutshell, time has gotten away from me. I have blinked and it is now almost the middle of September. Where did it go? Whew, my head is in a tailspin trying to remember what all has gone on since the last time I was on. Okay so I posted at the beginning of August but haven’t since then and prior to that it was March so yea you can add inconsistent to it too. Anyways, school has started again. Another season of change too, we have a high schooler! I still can’t believe it especially when I was sitting the in football stadium last Friday night watching her march onto the field with the field. It doesn’t seem possible that just yesterday she was running around following her Daddy with her bottle hanging out of her mouth, crawling under the truck with him to help. And now, well she is turning into a beautiful young lady. Of course we can’t forget the little bat now a second grader. Somewhere over the summer he transitioned from a little baby to a boy. Stinkiness aside, he truly is a character. His melt downs break my heart especially since he is realizing more and more that he just thinks and behaves differently than most, some good and some bad, but he knows. And I don’t always know what to say to him. But we are getting new help and I think over time we will be able to help him with the tools he needs to be successful. And with the season comes a new thought on my heart. Not really heaviness or a burden, just one of those nagging thoughts that consume you. Makes you research everything there is, try to find every possible solution. You try to ignore it at the start then it just keeps creeping in and there in front of you are those God times that remind you that hey, you might want to pay attention. Well it is happening, and dare I say once again. Off and on for the past several years, since 2009 to be exact, I have felt the need to simplify my life, everything. I’ve made an attempt here and there but not much as stuck. I’m not even really sure where this has all come about again. But I feel the need to pay off debt, save money, live simpler and most important switch “jobs”. I work full time at the present and I feel a longing to be home instead. Now some of you would go, but your kids are both in school. Yep, I know this. And it has been suggested to go down to part time. I want to be there when they are done with their day, not two hours later. I want to take care of my house properly. I just want to take care of my family better. Life is too short. And I think Emily needs me more now than she has in a long time. She confirmed that the other night when asked what she thought about me staying home. Her response “I would like it.” And Elliott, he is a homebody so I’m sure he would love it. With that spawns another thought which is to homeschool him. Especially if I don’t get the results from school that I want. But that is a whole another subject. So with all of these thoughts some that I’ve ignored or half attempted comes the start of a plan. To either one quit all together or go part time. Of course I would love to work part time, it would help financially but there are the summers to think about. I love to have goals, rather they seem loft or not. My goal is give myself until May to continue working and make the decision then. Of course I will know earlier than that if I can out right quit but I give myself to May. So what does that mean? Tune in to find out………
