as a child I never thought time moved fast enough.  I was one of those kids that laid in bed all night wide awake waiting for the next day.  Now as an adult I blink and the day is gone.  I wonder how my children perceive time, if it is going as fast for them as it is for me or if it is slowly passing like when I was a child.  I can’t believe that May is already here.  It doesn’t help with trying to live in limbo looking for a house to get moved into.  Do I pack this if I do will I need it?  Then part of my New Year’s resolution this year was to spend less, save more.  Not to just talk about doing it but actually doing it.  Along with involving my children.  This year at 6 and 7 years old they started savings accounts and earning allowances.  Hopefully to give them an idea about money and the cost of things I know stretching it with  FAS kids.  We seem to be struggling right now with understanding about utilities, shutting off lights, not standing with the refrigerator door open, shutting the water off while brushing teeth and having a timer for taking a shower.  I feel that I am starting to sound like my Mother “were you born in a barn?”  I guess I haven’t gotten to that extreme yet but I am sure if I had my kids would just look at me and wonder what the heck I had just said and why. I would love comments and suggestions about what has worked for others if you stop by to visit.  As for the vase painting we did that this morning.  They turned out pretty cute until they got tired and bored with it. (They only painted 4 of them) I took pictures but getting them here is the trick.
