So today I was sitting around trying to figure out when Olivia will be going to kindergarten. This stems from Lily’s kindergarten graduation last night. Olivia was born the last day before the dead line so we have a few options I guess. If she goes to school when she is five she will go for the 2010-2011 school year.
So after figuring that out I started wondering more and more things and here is what I came up with (I could save some of you some math, since our kids are the same age):
JT will be going to kindergarten in 2013-2014 school year (I will be running kids to Pre-School then kindergarten for a nonstop 4 year period of time!)
When JT enters first grade it will be the year Alexis graduates from high school!!!
Lex graduates 2015 (If Mission 2018-2020?)
Mason graduates 2017 (Mission 2018-2020)
Lily graduates 2020 (If Mission 2022-2024?)
Olivia graduates 2024 (If Mission 2027-2029?)
JT graduates 2027 (Mission 2028-2030)
My life is now flashing before my eyes!!! I will be 40 years old when Lex graduates and 51 when JT graduates! I am not sure about this, I think I am in denial that things will always be what they are now. This little math session has put some things in perspective – CHERISH THE MOMENTS!
p.s. Kindergarten has got to be one of my all time favorite ages! I’m glad I have two more to go…

Your math about tired me out. It’s a good thing we don’t have to live our lives all at once, but it is fun to plan out a few nice things a few years ahead. We’re sure you’ll enjoy the whole journey.

Wow! I am right in line with your first four. That makes me feel overwhelmed. It seems far off, but the last 11 years have been quick. I remember thinking I was so old when I was a senior. I hope these kids make us all proud, no dumb choices! I love them all!
