October turned into March so quickly. Is time going by too fast for anyone else? I can remember when I was a little girl, thinking everything went so slowly: "When will my birthday evvveerrr get here???" Now, I really wouldn't mind if time slowed down just a little bit. For one thing, my 20th high school reunion is coming up in July. I have not grown up enough yet for it to have been 20 years since I graduated! How can I already be 37 years old?
I've been watching my children too, with the eye of understanding that I'd better start enjoying this, because one day it will be gone. One day I will have all the peace and quiet I ever wanted, and I'm afraid I'll be lonely and wishing for a baby to cuddle, someone to ask me questions and hang on my answers, someone who wants me to bake them cookies or watch them go really, really fast down the sledding hill. Already, I miss those baby days...you know, the ones where you wish you didn't have to get up in the middle of the night and change all those poopy diapers? Well, I don't miss that part so much, but I miss the adoring eyes looking up at me, and the cooing and gurgling that says "I love you most of all." Time goes by just too, too quickly.
