We Live On Borrowed Time

You know time is not on your side when...

... The good summer days are over. There was no grand vacation this summer. But most weekends were fun and special.

... We said another goodbye to the daycare. Our nth. We shall be back again - Spring & Summer Break. My office is moving, a stonethrow away, this Fall. I can smell convenience!

... Kids start another school year. Sashimi goes to SK, while Sushi will be Grade 4. And I’m back to early-rising for my bento-making.

... The workweek just started and it's almost the weekend again.

... You want to bike, but it’s already dark out (and raining).

... It’s getting dark inside as well. You realize it's been a while since you had to turn on the lights for supper.

... You get panic attacks with planning your kids’ birthdays when their birthdays are yet a month away, and 3.

...You think of Halloween costumes… and start writing your Christmas list.

... Dad’s battling cancer. And you can’t be home.
