Sarah 1, Resolution 0

It's not even February, and I, like most Americans, have already failed a New Years resolution. It's not my fault, I really was trying to live in the moment and breathe deeply and blah blah blah, but then the Kindergarten registration papers arrived. Brain warp speed ahead to September. New schedule. And with a new schedule for Jaya, means no need for a daddy day or grammy day any more, which means a new work schedule for Agusti, which means a new school schedule for Annika, and possibly one for me, since maybe I should take Fridays off instead of Mondays, which means do I have more paid Monday holidays than Friday holidays because I wouldn't want to lose out there, and while we're thinking about September, let's back up to June and decide which of the two summer programs offered should Jaya take since PreK ends in June and he unfortunately cannot spend the summer riding his bike around the neighborhood and swinging in the backyard like I did when I was his age. But I digress. The fact of the matter is, it is all very well and good to enjoy the moment, when your kids are like, in college. But as a mother of small children, your mind must be going backwards, forwards, and managing the moment on hand all at the same time, like an octopus with tentacles in the past, present and future. So I'll let this one slide.
