Happy New Year!

Another year has come and gone... wow. I don't remember how long ago, but one summer I was complaining to my mom that I was bored, can't wait until school starts, (yes, I was one of those--the kids who like school) and I think maybe there was some event that I was looking forward to (my birthday maybe) that was taking to long to get here, maybe I was in a hurry to grow up... I don't really remember all that I was whining about, but I remember that she told me that I should enjoy whatever age I was, and that "time speeds up as you get older." This comment rather annoyed me. I knew that time was the same no matter how old you are. I knew that time was not magically faster for my mom than me, she had just as many hours in the day as I did... Well, as in so many other things my mom said or did, NOW I know what she was talking about. Time really does seem to fly by faster and faster as I get older(and I'm not old!)--and as my children get older. How is it possible that when I was a kid summers crawled by, and now I have no idea how my brand new baby could be in Kindergarten!? :)
