Tick Tock, Goes the Clock

Everyone keeps asking "How much longer?" 

I never have the right days, weeks or even months to tell them.  Counting days is too hard! 

So, today I sit and try to figure out exactly how many more...

* 17 more days to teach at my sweet elementary school

* 17 days before I turn my little ducklings free to become "too cool" 4th graders

* 5 days until we wrestle 175 third graders through the gates of a Springfield Cardinals game and remind 175 kids NOT to pick the grass on the field

* 4 more Sundays of driving back from a united weekend

* 4 more weekends of living with our parents

* 4 more weekends of scattering my kids' clothes here, there and yonder

* 30 more days until we (supposedly) close on our FIRST home!

* 30 more days until Jeremy has a massive coronary from signing our lives away! (okay, not funny...but kinda)

* 30 more days of packing up a home (oy vay!) and only 17 more to pack up a classroom and move it to storage!

* 110 days until I start teaching at my old stomping ground of California

* 110 days until we HAVE to have another babysitter (sniff!)

* 3 1/2 more weeks of missing Sunday and Wednesday night service at LBC

Wow!

Some numbers are staggering.  Others are exciting.  Some I want to make time stand still.  Others I want to spur along.

So many changes, all measured by time.

We've got this.  It's already been 94 days since everything changed.  Pfft-we're on the downhill slide!

And you know what?  We're okay.
