Time...where is it?

Life caught up with me once again and when I found a few minutes to breath between school meetings, calling parents of students who decided that school wasn't important enough to come, T-Ball practice and trying to clean our 2 car garage so we could actually use it to house a car, I was more interested in sitting on the couch in a vegetative state watching American Idol...yes, I do watch and enjoy it.
Mason's birthday is this week, tomorrow actually. He is turning 5 years old and this birthday in particular makes me realize that time really does fly by. I was looking at his baby photo album (which by the way contained monthly professional photos and a thousand photos of him smiling, sitting, rolling over, you name it - of which Madeline has about 25 of) and I realized that I almost couldn't remember those moments - where did that baby go? Kindergarten
In addition I got an email from a student that I had when I taught in Wisconsin...a student that is now in her 20's and still is in the same predicament she was in when I left...living at home with a dysfunctional (although whose family isn't these days) family trying to decide what to do - work at a daycare to have money in hand or try to go to the local community college and further her education and have to take out loans. She is such a sweet girl, I had her in the 6th, 8th, and 12th grade. Has time gone that fast that?
Speaking of time, I am off to proctor our Standards Based Test....students sitting in desks for 3 straight days for 14 sections of testing.....
