And Life Goes On...

I cant believe I haven't posted in a month. It seems that every time I have a child my life speeds up tenfold. What seems like days is really months. You know in Star Trek when they go into "warp speed" and the stars start zooming by, well, that is what my life feels like these days. Im traveling at warp speed, man. (Oops! Did i just give away that I am star trek fan....)

For example...

I wish I had a dime for every time my mother told me that she wished I would stop growing up so fast. I remember thinking how absolutely ridiculous she was for saying that. I think her statement was usually accompanied by an eye roll and a, "Oh mom!"...sigh...by me. But, then a few nights ago... I said it to Abby while tucking her in! And I really meant it too! Its funny how we become our mothers.

And then....
Yesterday, I was looking into the mirror and noticed some "smile wrinkles" (is that what they are called???) on my face. I seriously panicked. I started thinking that I need to go out and get some age-defying creams or something, (which in the past I have just blew off as a total hoax geared at aging women.) I never thought I would be old enough to have a wrinkle. ( I know my grandparents, and parents are rolling their eyes at that one.)

And last....
The other day I heard my daughter tell someone that I was REAL OLD. No, I am not old I wanted to say....but then again, I remember thinking my parents were old when they were in their thirties. One last final sigh.

So I guess I am finally starting to see reality. Life is fast, and that no matter what your age, you are going to always sit and wonder where the years have gone and that you cant believe how old you are. I guess I had better make the most of life while I can.
