MOMENTS

To me, life seems to be spinning a little faster each year i get older. i find myself laying in bed at night wondering when i will turn around one day and all of a sudden my children will no longer be my little toddlers but teenagers. i am exicted to watch my children grow and learn new things but there are moments when i wish life would could pause for a while or perhapes move slower. i hate knowing that one day those little innocent faces that come in every morning , so eager to see me will one day disappear. that i will soon be looking back at home videos and picture albums remembering when i was a young mother with little ones tugging at my legs. its not that i don't realize how many more years i have to go before i get to that point in my life. Its just that i know that as fast as days and years come and go, it will feel like it's crept up on me soo much sooner than anticipated. sure there are many days i would love to go with more sleep or go without fighting,tantrums and changing diapers. but when i take a moment to stop and just watch my children play,and listen to there cute little voices and watch there curious faces. I can't help, but want time to stand still, so i can have these precious angels to myself for just a little longer.

jaron: mom is my birthday next?
me: no, it's mommy's
jaron: then mine?
me: no, then it's daddy's, then jaces, then brinely's and then it will be your birthday
jaron: and i will be 6!
me: yes, you will be 6 and you will be in kindergarten!
jaron: i don't want to go to kindergarten
me: fine then you can stay home with me ( thinking that would change his mind)
jaron: mom, can i stay home with you forever?
me: jaron i wish you could, i really do.
