Back to School?!?

Really?  It can't be that time already.  I lamented this fact about a month ago when I saw school supplies out at Walmart prior to the Fourth of July.  But ready or not, it is almost here.

My kids don't start back to college until August 23rd, but those with grade school, middle school and high school kids will probably be sending them back earlier than that.  Is it just me, or does time seem to fly by?  Especially the older I get, the faster it seems to go.  There aren't a lot of days that I think, "wow, this day is slow, I wish it would hurry up and be over."  Why is that?

Is it that I am officially old?  Gosh, that would shock the heck out of me.  I mean, I know I am old, but good grief, I'm not that old.

Is it that I am busy?  I wouldn't have thought that.  After all, what do I do anyway?  People ask me that all the time, and I even ask myself sometimes.  I feel like I probably do less than the average 46 year old.  My jobs are part time, I have help with the housecleaning, I hate going to the grocery, so I avoid that as long as I can -- all that and there are just errands and laundry.
