Life Recovery

Ramblings

Is it me or did this year go fast? 

I have two things to accomplish on Sunday, income taxes and bible study homework.  I always wait until the last minute.  It would be so much easier if I would do them in a timely manner, so I'm not always in a time crunch.

Why do we procrastinate?  Let's just watch that movie and do the other tomorrow.  Then tomorrow comes and I have another excuse.  Before I know it, I'm facing the deadline and panic sets in. 

I used to be an escrow officer and worked many hours in a day.  But now, I work for a window/glass sub-contractor and my hours are no where near what I used to work when my children were young.  I used to think there would be plenty of time to spend with my children to do fun things.  Now I look back and I was robbed of those memories.  They were little toddies wanting to be loved and now they have toddies wanting to be loved.  I know I was an absent mother, depending on my sisters to watch them.  I know I've forgotten more than I remember of their growing up.  I know I regret all the wishing they were bigger. 

How I went from taxes to bible study to guilt of being an absent mother, I cannot tell you.  I just know that time flies and each year it goes faster.  

Those of you with little ones, savor every prescious moment with them.  They grow and change so fast and before you know it, they are having little ones of their own and calling you Grandma!  Now that's a sound I enjoy ... but that I'll save for another day.
