Can time just slow down?  Like, stop.  But, on the other hand - hurry on up.  I'm living such an anomaly right now because I really feel like in so many aspects of my life I want time to slow down, but in our journey towards parenthood, I desperately want time to hurry up!

I am typically a person who works VERY hard to enjoy the moment.  I try to savor each phase of my life because I know it will never come again.  I wasn't one of those brides who wished away their engagement.  I loved every moment of that phase of my life because I knew it was never coming again.  I enjoyed our first year or so of marriage before really beginning to worry about parenthood.  This infertility struggle has really challenged this for me however.  When parents smirk and say, "why are you rushing it?!  Enjoy your sleep while you can" I giggle with them, but inside it makes my stomach flip because I just cannot believe the insensitivity of some people.  Why don't you just enjoy a phase of your life that you never asked to be in in the first place?!  Anyone?  Yep, prolly not many takers on that one.

Anyway, time is a funny thing.  And I will continue to try to live on God's time and not my own.

I get to meet my new fifth-sters tonight and I am really excited.  I love the fresh start of a new school year.  I love that my room is all bright and ready for them.  I love that while many of them love their summers, they are for the most part ready to come back and have at least a little hint of excitement.  I do too.

That's about all for this Monday morning from me
Enjoy your week -
