I’d settle for a slowdown
Wednesday, August 16th, 2006The latest baby in my life isn’t even mine but he’s sooooo adorable! The photo I uploaded today is little Gabe. He’s very handsome already and that must be because he has Carrie’s nose! 
Seems like everyone’s either pregnant, just had a baby, or wishing to become pregnant. I miss the wee ones that my Terrors used to be but I ain’t about to have them go back to being babies. I really would settle for time to slow down a little. I remember being a kid and the time just wouldn’t move and now it seems to fly by me! I can not believe that Sam is now in middle school. Where did elementary school go? We went to Chuck E. Cheese’s for Heidi’s birthday party last Saturday and he was not thrilled. I mean, he had some fun but admitted that it really wasn’t as cool as it was when he was little. Even odder is the fact that he’ll be a high school freshman in a mere three years. That bugs me. I don’t want him to be that old. 
Zack is adjusting to having no older brother at school with him. Well, he’s mostly adjusting. I don’t think he’s very thrilled with it. His teacher was telling us how Zack runs to Sam and grapple-hugs him every afternoon. I feel for him, sort of. I never had that kind of relationship with my brothers or sisters and it is so incredibly nice to see him have it with his brother. I hope it stays.
By the way, the title is courtesy of Dierks Bentley’s song “Settle for a Slowdown”. The song isn’t really fitting for the post, but I was listening to it when I started typing and really, I would settle for life to slowdown a little.
