Dandelion Fluff

Today we heard a boy blowing a whistle outside and Gedalya remarked, "That's the shofar because it's almost Purim!"

And indeed. It's Elul. When that happened, I am not sure.
I was in Pathmark and noticed on the checkout screen that the Bamba snacks we bought were discounted by 10 cents. The word "ROSHHASHANAH" was there, next to the -10. Rosh Hashana? What? At first I thought it was comical, much like the time they had matzah on sale for Chanuka many years ago. But then I realized that Pathmark is giving me a reality check. It really is almost Rosh Hashana!
It's Elul, and my baby girl's birthday is in Tishrei. Next month. Gedalya will be 4 1/2 in three weeks, on Rosh Hashana. Zusha will be starting Kita Beis. He will be in school till 4:30 this year. Yipes.

Time is moving, and I'm not sure to where. As I mentioned to one of Adel's therapists, I'm living a month or more behind the times. Every Thursday evening I shake my head in disbelief that tomorrow is erev shabbos. Every time, without exception. Wasn't it just Sunday? I mean, the Sunday before last? Wasn't it?

I had so much planned for the summer. And we did a lot of it. There were only a handful of days that I felt we didn't use to the full potential. But... but... there is so much more!

There is so much I want to write about. I have posts and post all neat in my head, but then they get old. Should I write about Zusha's birthday (2 1/2 months ago) or about Adel's first haircut (over three months ago)? Should I finally put up the photos from MARCH?? Should I update about Adel's new words and tricks before she moves onto greater stuff and leaves her old tricks in the dust? Or maybe I should fold laundry lest the therapists think we live off that giant mound on the little table in the corner.

Maybe I should just let that go and write about the recent happenings. I try.   I did have a post all ready to be assembled- all the photos uploaded. And then it got erased when the browser froze. It was from a gastroenterologist visit three weeks ago. I'm resuscitating it now.

I'm having a hard time keeping up because as I mentioned a couple posts down, we are venturing down a cloth diaper journey. It's exciting and fun, and has kept me busy. The three extra laundry loads a week, consisting of a rinse-wash-rinse cycle has left me little time to post. But I hope to catch up with our summer stories on this here blog.

You breathe, and it has already flown away.
