Time goes too fast...

Not too clear but this is actually part of a flock of birds flying over as we drove home from the Theatre yesterday!

The performances had been well-prepared and we are always filled with pride to watch either offspring on-stage.  The journey there, however, was fraught as there had been a chemical spill along the main route.  Everyone was trying to find alternative routes around, resulting in all the back road short-cuts being gridlocked.  We managed, although Hubby had to leave his car at work and catch the train.  Dan and I picked him up in my car at the station, where he took over the driving and somehow got us to the Theatre in plenty of time.  

As the beginning of the week has been a little busy, I was looking forward to this afternoon when things should become a bit calmer.  Then came the request from Suzie.. could she go to the Park with a certain young gentleman after school?  Boyfriend.  She has a boyfriend. What is going on people?? When did they get old enough for this stuff??!  I was just settling in to the fact that Dan has an actual regular girlfriend (first one was classed as 'unofficial' ?!?) when BAM his sister does this to me!!  Oh well, got to go with the flow haven't you?!  Apparently there's a possibility he will get on her school bus and come home with her.. at least my new and invigorated house-cleaning means the home looks fairly decent!!  So much for  Hubby's rule of no dating till she's 30!!!!
