TIme is a challenge for me. My lease ends the 31st, so I signed a lease to move the 26th - and get notice that our custody hearing is the 29th. Freaking wonderful timing. So I am trying to get a home packed up while dealing with a 3-ft stack of documents. Lovely.

But in a more lasting sense, I think time plays a role for every mom. I glanced back at my goggle-clad little boy on the way to daycare this AM... the goggles where loose, but made his ears fold down some the way he had them and he was just watching the world go by. I laughed and then wished I could somehow freeze that moment and put it in a little box. That those moments of toddler goofiness could last forever.

For challenges that I can actually do something about, I have a hard time knowing where to draw the line sometimes. Ry is EXTREMELY gregarious and the businesses on either side of our front door offer his nmerous opportunity to chat. As somebody who's quiet and shy, I love that he's so lively and sociable. I definately don't want to crush that - but he's said la lot lately "Everybody likes me!" and "They are all my friends" I am not sure how to make him understand that the world does not exist solely to fill his social calendar without damaging part of what makes him so special...
