Ramblings

OK, so this is what's on my mind.

1. I hate cars. I wish we could catch a ride in a bubble like in Meet the Robinson's. Every time we think we are going to get ahead, one of our cars needs some maintenance. GRRRRR!

2. Time is going by too fast, and yet not fast enough. This year, Abbe turns 8, Emma turns 17 (tomorrow) Issa turns 18 and starts college, and my little boy starts Kindegarten. Too fast. However, being the introverted person I am, I long for the time when all my kids can care for themselves, and I can have time to myself. A conundrum. But not really. I know that time will come all too fast, and if I don't slow down and enjoy them while I can they will be gone. So that's what I will do.

3. I hate politics. Enough said.

4. I love Fall. I know we are in the middle of summer, but Thursday I register my little kids for school, and that's fallish, and this is the time of year I start scanning the scenery for "Changing". Changing delights me to my soul. I love summer for it's beautiful flowers and butterflies. I love Spring for the promise of new life. I adore Winter (until my birthday), but I never tire of Fall. It is cool. It is beautiful. I love the apples, and pumpkins and gourds and leaves.

Ok so that is what's on my mind tonight. What's on yours?

Love, Tonja

Awwwwww ((((((Punkin))))) First off I about fainted when I checked your blog and saw your had posted. LIke you enjoy reading my ramblings, I love reading your blog.

I wish I could make everything good for you. That is the very hardest thing about having grown children. I know it is a cliche' but DO enjoy the kids now when they are home and have little problems.. All too soon they will be grown and then unless your ship really comes in, you will have to sit by and watch them. Oh alot of it is good. Dont get me wrong, I wouldnt give a million bucks for all the love and memories that you and your brother and your family gives me. But there are those hard times you go through that wretch the soul. But hang in there. Fall will soon be here,, and all to soon your kids will be out on thier own too.

I love you... Wish I could wave a wand and make your every wish come true.
