Time Flies

Posted by on February 5, 2013

Time flies – it’s a tired cliche, but ain’t it the truth?  There are moments when I can’t comprehend where it’s all gone.  Did I nap through a decade of life?  Am I so consumed by the minutiae of daily living that I forgot to notice how much the kids have grown?  Last night, my 16-year old (!) and I were going over class scheduling options for his junior year (!?!).  We talked about how these selections will affect class choices for his senior year, and how those, in turn, will affect his college prospects.  Wait a minute…senior year?  College?  We’re picking classes together only ONE more time?  But…didn’t he just plop onto my lap to read “The Foot Book” for the millionth time?  Wasn’t his first t-ball game last spring?

Two and a half more years before he leaves me (umm, I mean, leaves the house to begin the next phase – separate from ~me~).  I must stop my brain from fast-forwarding.  I must focus on now, and relax, enjoy these times because they, too, will fly.  I’m trying, but I can’t help feeling like the dad in that car commercial who sees his little girl, not his nearly grown daughter.

Under the weight of all this sentiment, the best I can do is put one foot in front of the other…or maybe left foot, left foot, left foot, right.  Feet in the morning, feet at night…
