I am bit of a downer today so I just wanted/needed to vent. Every year I look forward to family members comming home and before I know it they are here and gone again. Where does the time go? I wish sometimes it would stand still! But then again, I end up wishing the time away so they will come again.
Today my sister left and went home. I had a great visit with her so I really can't complain. Out of the 3 weeks she was here, we probably didn't see each other for one of those days. I am off on Mat leave and enjoyed doing things with her everyday! So today there is a real emptiness here. Lord knows I should be use to it, she as been comming home off and on for 10 yrs now but it seems to be getting harder. I guess its b/c Im not working and I figure the days are going to be lonely without her but I know its just a matter of getting use to a normal routine again.She also says she isn't comming home this christmas and won't be home until next summer.
Then I decide to get at some clothes in the spare bedroom that needs to be packed away. And its mostly baby stuff. I can't beleive he is 8 monthes old almost! The little baby who use to fit into this clothes is growing up!
When I look my daughter is playing a video of herself in a gymnastics competition and she was soooo small and sweet! I remember her winning these medals and she was so proud!She didn't expect to win anything but the camera caught her facial expressions when she did and they were priceless! Wish I could go back in time!
And this is a good one! My daughter says, "mom, I feel sorry for you?" I ask her "why?" She said "b/c next yr when you turn 30 you will be starting to die" I guess I looked at her confused and said "not everyone dies when they are 60!" Then she says, "no, don't you know that the body doesn't make anymore new cells after you turn 30." hahaha
Anyway, I guess we have to remember to live each day to its fullest and live with no regrets. Hard to do I know but time seems to be slipping by so fast!
Thanks for listening to me whine!
