And it's Wednesday...again

Time is flying past and it seems like nothing that needs doing is getting done.  But then I review my mental to do list and find that while I feel like I am not doing anything, stuff is actually getting done.  I've rented a storage unit, packed some boxes, and I am sure there are other things but I am too tired to remember.

My son got his driver's license yesterday.  It was kind of a pain in the backside process, which it shouldn't have been, but now it is done.  Tonight I let him take the ol' blazer  to a school dance.  I debated all day about it but realized it was time.  Yet another step towards his becoming an adult.  I never have to teach another kid to drive or worry about them taking their first solo drive.  It is a good yet somewhat sad feeling. 

I had house guest's for the past week.  They went back home today which I am not sure is the best thing but it is what it is.  What I really missed while they were here were my daily naps.  I love a good mid-morning or afternoon power nap.  You know the kind where you lay down, close your eyes then wake up 30 minutes later feeling re-energized.  Anyway, while they were here there were no naps and I am really feeling it.

I would love to go to sleep now but I need to wait for the teenage driver to return safely.

YAY for your son! I've never mastered the power nap... I lay down and wake up two hours later!

It's a good feeling to get the last one driving. And I never can do the power nap either. I wake up more tired than if I had just stayed awake!

Congratulations on the Driver's License thing! (I think!) It's amazing how time can move so fast and so slow, all at the same time.

Hi amy, I just noticed that you are following me on my blog. Thanks so much for coming to visit me! I remember when my kids went through the whole drivers license thing. It was horrible! I am a worrier and I don't think I lost that much sleep when they were babies. I'm going to take some time now to look around your blog. Have a great day!
