Where does the time go ....

I believe yesterday was Christmas ... or am I mistaken?

I say that because now it is March. 3 months into the year already. 2007. Did I just catch up with the concept that time is passing us by you wonder ? My point is this -- I have friends that have new babies. I have friends that have just been married, or have weddings coming up. I think of all the wonderful things they have in store, and I look at my own 2 kids. All of the milestones they have conquered, and the ones coming up. On March 15th, we have HIGH SCHOOL OPEN HOUSE NIGHT.

That`s right. My baby, born 14 years ago in January, starts Grade 10 next year.

Oh. My. God.

This is what I meant about the time going so quick. The milestones started to blend into one another. First car ride - home from the hospital. Age 3 days. First trip shopping with Mom - to Kingsway Mall with Dad and Grandpa. Age 4 days. When she was born she was 7 lbs even, and was 18 3/4" long. Now she's as tall as me, and borrowing my clothes (and shoes, and makeup....).

She's really turned her grades around this year too. She went from a B-C average last year, to really studying and being prepared and getting an A-B average this year. I am so proud of her, but I still wish some days she was a toddler running around in pink, singing to herself and visiting Gram to make cookies and lick the bowl.

She has an opinion about everything, something that has grown with her since she was that toddler. Now it's starting to be tempered with a little bit of wisdom. The things that make you go hmmmmmm. She`s starting to consider her actions rather than just running out and throwing herself into what she wants to do. How did I get here? You try to be a good parent, and you're never sure if you're doing it right, and then suddenly you wake up one day and its obvious you did SOMETHING right.

I swear ... just yesterday .... I was starting high school .......

The Sun is still shining ....

I had to smile this morning when I took Anthony to school. You know how you get that frost on your windows that makes the perfect backdrop for a single snowflake ?? That's what I saw this morning. I was wishing I had my camera, because you could see every detail on that snowflake.

It was perfect. 6 sides, all feathered out at the edges with a perfect circle at the center of it. It looked like someone had taken a paintbrush and painted that snowflake on my window, at just the right height, and it was just for me. Just a little something to wake me up.

I noticed the sun was a little brighter this morning, it was a little higher in the sky than it was yesterday at this time. My coffee tasted a little more rich when I poured myself a cup, and it doesn't seem like there's as many dishes to clean up this morning.

My heart feels lighter today too, it's amazing what you notice when you open your eyes and take a sec to look around.

I'm going to make the most of this and go for a walk. Who knows what else I'll discover ??
