I've been thinking...
I look at my 6 year old getting ready to turn 7 and I think to myself, where has the time gone? It feels like yesterday that I gave birth to the little man. I still can't believe that he is almost as tall as me and is going to enter the 2nd grade... WOW!
I look at my 23 months old getting ready to turn 2 and I think to myself, what happened to my baby? Time goes by so quickly. I am taking him for his first haircut this weekend... eek! This should be interesting.
I look at my 18 year old nephew getting ready to turn 19. HOLY CRAP, he's graduating high school and has been accepted to multiple colleges. I am proud to say he will be a student at Penn State University. Go NITTANY LIONS!
I look at my 13 year old nephew getting ready to turn 14. Here it is, he's graduating from 8th grade and after the summer will begin his first year of high school. The most important school years of anyones life.
I look at my 13 year old neice getting ready to receive her confirmation and graduate from 8th grade. Time goes by and before you realize it they are off getting married and starting their families.
Where does the time go?
I had an interesting conversation yesterday with my brother. So here is a thought... If you had the opportunity to either 1) work normal hours and make enough money to make ends meet but be able to have plenty of quality time with your family or 2) work like dog and make enough money to give your family everything they could want big house, name brand clothes, vacations, cars, etc. but have very limited quality time with your family... which would you choose?
I know my decision would be number 2! Why you ask, well I already live number 1 and its NOT fun. I hate not being able to give my kids everything they want. I hate NOT being able to go on vacations. I hate struggling. Life in a struggle is never fun.
So tell me what would you choose?
