One man’s voice Thoughts, rants and commentary from a husband, father of five and professional web geek

Where has this year gone?

It seems like just a few weeks ago we were celebrating New Years, screaming like idiots down the street at 12:something in the AM, lighting off sparklers and generally feeling sad that we wasted another year.

Now I sit at home thinking to myself that I am dead in the middle of wasting another year while I wait around what to do with it. I know this is not really the case, but I feel like this year has quickly slipped past me and that I would almost be better off preparing for next year now.

Speaking of preparing for next year, my wife and I are going to be spending time tomorrow planning our kids' school year. This is another thing that has seemed to sneak up on me without any notice. Don't get me wrong... I am well aware that school starts around this time every year. But I swear if it isn't really May 27 or some other early in the year date. Not the end of August. No way.

Anyhow, I am just plain ranting because I feel like I lost something that was totally within my ability to control. So I suppose I need to start working on redeeming the time as best I can so my kids can actually get educated throughout the rest of this year.

If only I could find where I put my time...
