Ack. And whoa! And...ugh...

So overwhelmed. I tried to post this last night, but I have to admit, I can't remember if I did. Life...is a whirlwind. Two of our kids now have significant others. Neither of them can drive. I am beginning to think we should adopt a policy that you can't date until you can drive. Neither of them go to school with their SO, so the weekend has become the time they hang out together. That would be cool and all, but both of their SOs go to school in Bellevue, and live a bajillion miles away, so we are constantly taking them to 'play dates', arranging 'play dates', sitting somewhere while we wait for them to be done with 'play dates', and...well...basically I want a play date of my own, with my husband, where work, children, and everyone else has to LEAVE US ALONE! ;-) We've got 3 weddings between last weekend and the next month - all for kids either the same age or just slightly older than our kids. My mind is having a hard time grasping that. We're not in the time anymore where our friends are getting married and having babies. Our KIDS friends are doing that. I feel SO old! Aside from that life is awesome. I still wish I could JUST be wife and mom, but working isn't really anything I should complain about. Husband and Child #2 are starting a Ferrell's course tonight, which means a complete 180 for the entire family. Child #2 wants to go into the military, and was given a goal weight for acceptance, and we ALL need to lose weight and improve our overall health, so...as much as it is not fun and exciting, we're back 'on the wagon'. (And it just occurs to me that I just bought frozen mac n cheese for the kid who needs to lose weight! Whoops. Old habits. Good thing we have a 4-year-old who can eat it!) And now...I have 1 hour of downtime before I go back to work...time to chill out, and try to shut my brain off for a bit.
