The Big Five!

Ellis officially turned five last Saturday.

We haven’t had her party yet, because Reha has a case going to trial this week, so she’s been crazy busy and I’ve been trying and failing to hold forth on all domestic fronts of late. Quick status report for the month: laundry: done, kids: bathed, dinner: can’t handle it, calling Pizza Hut (again). Chaos level in the house: High

Anyway.

Holy crap.

My littlest (and last) baby is FIVE years old!

And Carrie turns 18 this summer and will be going off to college in the fall.

Um.

I’m not sure how she’s going to do that, because I swear to you, I was just changing her diapers a few days ago. She CAN NOT be old enough to leave our nest and go to FREAKING college in another state.

This is a tragedy.

<write your own cliche-ridden and angst-y paragraph about how time passes so very quickly and paste it here, I just can’t />

Seriously.

My name is Jon and I do NOT approve of time passing any quicker.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be over in the corner, being all weepy while leafing through old photo albums.

Ellis, 5 or 6 months old. Where has all the time gone?!

Ellis, just couple weeks ago at lunch with me.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
