Time is flying.....


So......It is officially the last month of this year! Weird to think of it that way isn't it? Most people are thinking of it as the month of Christmas (with good reason). I too was thinking about how close Christmas was getting, until Megan updated her Face Book status this morning.

She was probably thinking it would be funny or clever, but it almost threw me into a panic.

What parent is ever thinking they are going to have there kids really be old enough to be a real adult? Certainly NOT me! I was totally unprepared for this statement this morning. I have been thinking ever since about the post I made for my Dad (the Cinderella video) and how now even though I am not the Dad, it totally applies to me. Here and now!

Time really is flying! I would like to apply the breaks and just slow down for just a little. Take more time to enjoy all the giggles and silly moments I failed to write down. All the times we have argued but ended in a hug or something of the like. The times that didn't.

I also keep thinking, that for someone that was never going to have kids, I am sure having a hard time with, thinking of them being ready to go out on their own.

I hope that as my kids do grow and venture out on their own, that I have taught them well and given them the desire to succeed and be amazing adults, but that I have also given them the desire to visit with me often even after they take on their new adult life. If this is the case, then I will have been successful.

Megan I love you and you truly inspire me to be a better Mother and woman! I wanna grow up and be a lot like you! ;)
