Tick Tock on the Clock
The Roberts Four, take two
The Roberts Four, take four...
I am fully aware that this post’s title is lyrics to a popular pop song by Ke$ha or some such singer. Lily loves that song. I took a look at it on YouTube once, and vetoed it immediately. Call me a prude. Go ahead.
But it’s been in my head for a couple of days. Tick tock on the clock. Time’s a ticking. I’ve been living well. There have been late nights, tight hugs, campfires, tears. It’s been a time. A season. Life.
I’ve spent time with friends, time with family. I’ve forgiven my husband, even when he wasn’t smart enough to ask for it. Because tick tock on the clock. Time’s ticking.
Together we’ve been separate and then together again. We’ve been pressed into flexing our teamwork muscles. Stomach virus, round three. No joke. Two babes in diapers, overnight. You don’t want to know the messes we’ve seen.
There’s been sunshine. And rain. Oh, great. Now I’m Rob Base. (My first concert. Again, not kidding.) But, for real, it’s been a week of God telling us all is well and then weeping angrily at odd moments. And that’s how I’ve been too. Only not angry. But, yes, maybe a bit angry.
But life is good. The tick tock on the clock reminds us all that we need to take the time to do the things we really need to do. This past week, that meant doing hard things, because we can and we have to. And this morning, that meant washing Luke’s hair three times with three different shampoos to conquer that smell.
And tomorrow? That tick tock propels me toward girlfriends and time well spent. Because I’ve got a vacation day, a sitter, a plan.
And it’s all good. Because the clock is ticking, and I’m doing what matters, when it matters most.

A birthday girl and her birthday dog! Happy birthday, sweetie!
This is how lunch is done!
As my brother would say, it's a mowhack....
My oldest, my youngest. Tick tock...
All for now. Go mind your clocks! And come back soon!
Time definitely doesn’t stand still; seems the older we get the faster it goes. Unbelieveable, where does it go?. We have to remember, we can’t get it back and to make it count. Tick-Tock!!
Absolutely nailed it! Time is flying and I am trying to slow it any chance I get! Great pics of the birthday girl! (And dog and cousins, too!). Love you!
Beautiful babes in all of your pics! Time is passing us by. Have not been able to get little Ava out of my mind. So glad the community is embracing her family. She touched so many lives! Hope to catch up with you soon! Love ya!
