Today

Can you hear time ticking bye? Sometimes I think I hear it galloping.... like when I am scurrying around the house in the morning trying to get kids off to school and the rest of us ready for a day of school here.... But then there are those few days, now and then, that I get the chance to slow down. Like when the fast falling rain gently turns into snow and pauses for a while to enjoy it's fall to the ground. Not that I think that I am falling. well not most of the time anyways.... I always seem to be in full animation with the hope of being able to slow down the process "soon." When is "soon?" Can we define "soon?" When can we expect to see "soon?" Can I put it on the calendar? Never, no, no and not likely! I have to learn to enjoy the "soon" now. Do I have the ability to slow down? I don't think so, but I keep trying. Maybe in about 30 years! As Mom to 4 kids I always have a "list" going.... things that have to get done, things that need to get done, and then that ever allusive list of should do's if I have the time!! But please note that that list hardly ever sees the light of day because it is forever covered by the aforementioned lists!

So, this is it. I need to stop and smell the roses. My babies won't be little forever. And all you just starting out in that dept. Please take it from me, if you can stand it, time with your babies is ALWAYS more important than that sink of dishes or the cobwebs that are floating around semi-attached to the ceiling.... And don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.
