There are 940 Saturdays between when
A baby is born and when
she leaves for college. At 5,
my eldest has already used 260.
The youngest's burned through about 90.
My first thought: How terribly sad.
Then: Not all colleges start exactly
the same weekend! And what about
taking a gap year to travel
Europe or the Outback or Argentina?
That number's not locked down, right?
Please be more specific, Facebook.
I need to know exactly when
to be overwhelmed by the guilt
of missing out on Saturdays passed.

The GREAT news is....there are many, many, many Saturdays after that! And (from one who's in the college/post college 'empty nest' stage) the 'back home' for a Saturday visits are THE BEST!
Don't bother counting them, just enjoy them.
Nice...just enjoy the moment!
So true!
THAT is reassuring!
And be OK with not enjoying all of them. :)
Funny how sometimes it seems like not enough Saturdays and other times it seems like too many ;)
But if a few hundred have passed, that means there are still 600 left to make the most of. (This is what I tell myself at such times. And then I also take comfort in Adrienne's perspective, below!)
