The weirdest feeling ever!

Well, we are still blending away. Tomorrow is Sarah's checkup in Halifax. It will be two weeks on Thurs. I really (REALLY) hope they put loose enough elastics on so she can can something in her mouth like pasta. This diet is getting old for her very fast. She has lost about 6lbs. Had to make a new hole in her belt because her pants were falling down. The swelling is really going down. Now she looks like someone who just got their wisdom teeth out, and the bruising is almost gone. Yesterday, Connor was harrowing (sp?) a field for Jeff. He was driving the big John Deere cab tractor. I can't believe he can drive that, but the field was flat, so he was having a blast. The weird feeling??? When I went to pick him up, Sarah came with me and I let her drive down the dirt road to the field to pick him up. He was not quite done when we got there, so I let her drive up and down a few times. Okay, so sitting in the passenger seat when your kid is in the drivers seat.....that is the weirdest feeling ever. She did really well, did not go too fast, just wanted her to get used to what the truck feels like. She was so excited, it was kind of nice to see a smile (as close as she can smile right now) on her face again. Neither one of us is ready for the open road yet, but that will come soon enough. If anyone can figure out how to slow time down a little I would love to know, cause I don't care for how quickly my two kids are growing up.

Okay...what's REALLY weird is sitting in the back seat of a van, with your grandchildren in front of you and your kid is driving the vehicle! The funny part is YOU don't feel any older than you did 20 years ago...and wonder on a regular basis...How DID this happen?
Hang in their Sarah...you can make up those pounds pretty fast! Speaketh the 'voice of experience'.

the only way to slow down time is to do something you don't like! So don't be doing that!!! Enjoy your moments to the fullest & slow down just enough to notice.yeah!
