I am 35. I will be 36 tomorrow. How do I feel? Like I’m getting closer to 40. That’s pretty scary to me.
I’ve grown. Every year I grow. More wiser from experience and situations.
But, I still feel young in my heart. I would say about 23. Why does time go by so fast?
My husband who’s almost 2 years younger than me is going grey. Even though he looks so handsome with it. My kids are 6 and 2. It was just the other day Noam was 1 and we were in his room singing Happy Birthday to his tiny little babyness. And Ben, never mind… I was JUST in the hospital having contractions. How is he 2 already and turning away every time I want to kiss his baby cheeks?
I wish time would slow down. I need to enjoy EVERY SINGLE DAY. Enjoy every moment with my family. Life is too much sometimes. Rush, rush here, and rush, rush there and before you and I know it, BAM! They’re off to University… or getting hitched.
It makes me sad. How time goes by so fast. I need to be more organized so I can enjoy my kids, my husband and my life…our lives. I will organize cooking, cleaning and taking care of responsibilities so that it does not interfere with playing with my boys when they ask me to. Or, just be with them when my sweet, sensitive Noam just wants me close. Because I know. I know that when he’s grown, they’re grown, they won’t want that anymore.
I’m fully aware, and appreciate them with all my heart. I’ve been given such a gift. You don’t even know. I’m taking advantage of being a mom…. And I appreciate EVERY single second of it.
