thoughts of Mondays....

well today is almost past us and we have just begun a new week. As much as I wish the week would fly by and come to the weekends I have to think that this is just rushing time. My little girl, Scarlett will be 3 next Tuesday. I can't help but wish that time would stand still just for a little while so she and my son too can enjoy there childhood. I wish I could go back to mine. Carefree days no worries. Man that was so nice. Oh just to have a summer break again. To not truly know that the next day is a work day.
As I watch Scar play outside her love for nature is abudant and her life seems perfect and only one worry is thinking what am I gonna do next! She seems so fearless and will explore anything. Don't get me wrong I love my son just as much but he is 7 and into video games and is very scared of bugs of all things! He is a boy! He is supposed to love bugs and the outdoors. So my mind is on my tomboy that I am watching playing outside. She is so bright. He is too but he seems to be sheltered by the house.
When I was his age we would be outside every single night unless it was a very bad storm. From the time we came home from school til we went to bed. The summers were the best! We played hide and seek, rode bikes, played witht the slip and slide. Took our toys outside and just played. It never seemed to matter how hot it was or if there was bugs around us or not. The fear of snakes never even came to mind. We would walk on the train track behind our house and if we heard a train we would hide in the woods, just hoping a train would not come while we were on the bridge that looked over the gravel pit and a small creek.
Then there was the many times we got to go across the street in the field and just walk and explore. We would walk to the river, look at the corn growing and just take in the many gifts from God.
Well Scar calls for a new adventure... Later :)
