Who all is “ugh’ing” with me? It’s Monday {period}.
Why must weekends insist on going by lickity-split; you blink and it’s over. It seriously seems so unfair. I’m sitting here on Sunday evening with a glass of Mark West Pinot {it’s always our go to bottle, 10 buckaroo’s}… in complete denial that we’re approaching the SECOND week of August, and I’m asking myself, HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? Where has the time gone? With the exception of the heat, it doesn’t even feel like summer… yet! Don’t get me wrong, although time has flown by, it’s been nothing short of fabulous… but still. I want a pool day, a lake day, to be day tipsy and then call in sick to work ;), I want more summer BBQ’s with friends, picnic’s, summer outdoor concert series, the list goes on and on! And on!
I’m sure those who have little kiddo’s feel the time going by even faster than us non-kiddo’s! You give birth to an infant and then 6 months later this child that lived inside of you is crawling. Nustso! I’m realizing after 2 glasses deep {2 glasses = sentimental, 3 glasses = tears} that the best thing I can do is to STOP, s t o p and smell the flowers, because right now, I’m afraid I’m taking life for granted. This past weekend was my 10 year high school reunion, and while I didn’t attend {prior work commitments} I still am in ‘awe’ as how fast this time has gone. It feels like yesterday when my parents waved goodbye as I started college in Charlotte. TEN YEARS, Y’ALL… TEN! It feels even more like yesterday when I was introduced to my husband. Then we wed and even that feels like TODAY {doesn’t even make the ‘it feels like yesterday’ mark}, even though we’re approaching our 2 year anny… and then there’s today, the present. It’s just going by way to fast. Does anyone agree?
So, my question is to you… how you do YOU preserve TIME? How do you make it last forever? Every single moment? I’m struggling… my time, our time is going by way to fast.
I think I might start by shutting this computer down, pouring my final, 3rd glass of vino, and then I’m going to sink my tush deep into our cushy sofa and enjoy a Sunday chat with the little man… my hubs.
