<p>Sluggbugg,
There is a really large part of me (though not my whole self) that resonates with what you are saying. My primary feeling is gratitude! </p>
<p>This week has been especially nice cause ALL the kids are out of town on Spring Break, as is hubby, and this is the first time in my two-year-old marriage that such has been the case. </p>
<p>;) 
I think I can get USED to this!</p>
<p>Hubby’s back, not kids. Can get used to this, too!</p>
<p>
Sluggbugg - a kindred spirit! I didn’t know I had any! thankyouthankyouthankyou.</p>
<p>I had tears of nostalgia last night at “last” hockey game (won State final!) and S does not even play. But in this small town, we have known these kids so well for so long. S went to pre-school with some and K on with most.</p>
<p>But other moms have been crying sad tears at each last, and I have not.
I savor each milestone (that’s what I call them too ). I loved the “rose” ceremony at last soccer game, loved doing the Parting Thoughts each family puts in the yearbook, am loving planning Project Graduation,… I am loving them, because they just seem to make my life rich.</p>
