I've had a crazy busy week - busy, busy, busy. Don't think the weekend is going to slow down any either. My niece graduates high school tonight. That seems unreal - wasn't it just yesterday that I graduated? No? Well, it seems that way. I still feel just like that girl. Okay, maybe not just like her...her with a few more pounds, a little less innocence and a pretty unattractive c-section scar. But she's there!
I remember on my graduation day feeling like I could do anything I wanted to do, that the world was absolutely mine, waiting for me to go out and take it on. I was so full of hope and promise. And I still secretly feel that way.
And then I look in the mirror and I see this face staring back at me - and it takes me by surprise that it's slightly wrinkled. Not for the fact that I'm getting older but because the years have gone by so quickly. And I know the next 20 years will go just as quick and soon, very soon, I will look in the mirror and be surprised to see that's it's completely wrinkled.
And kids, they accelerate everything - fill your life so full that weeks slip into months and months morph into years. I mean, M is almost 6 and I have absolutely no idea how that happened. Because honestly, it doesn't feel like 6 years...
