It really doesn't seam that long and I know that time will fly now. When my mom came to visit me last month she said " I remember when you were at that age. It seam that you were a little girl forever and then you grew faster that I believed possible. Before I knew, you were a young adult moving out and living your life..." . For a moment I felt her sorry for missing her little girl and I understood the message. My mom always had to work and we really didn't had that much time with each other. I don't remember her been part of my teenage years much, we were both so busy. Mom had to work and I had school and extra activities galore.
I have been blessed in so many ways. To be able to stay home with my kids, talk to them after school, make dinner together and sit together has never been so important as it is know. My good friend Jami Townsend once said "if you listen/have conversations with your kids when they are 5, they will still want to talk to you when they become teenagers". She has six great adult children. I took her words to heart. I enjoy having conversations with my girls. I can see us still keeping them up in the future.
I'm enjoying my girls and I can see the great women that they are becoming.
Yes, we did have a great birthday party too. Movie, pizza, cake and dancing. Here's to the fun of being girls!!!
