Things I didn't get done today.
The things I did.
My boy's first dance.
It's crazy how fast time goes by.
Sometimes I think, I'm such a mom.
And then I think, What else would I be?
My husband took me out for dinner the other night. He asked me if my life was turning out the way I planned. I told him all I ever wanted was a husband and a house full of kids. A curious thought occurred to me, though. All those times I saw myself with a house full of kids, I was always young and they were little. I never really looked ahead to when I would be not-so-young and they would be taller than me. I wonder if we can ever look ahead and see what reality will look like in the mirror. Do you get that? All I know is I looked at a picture of myself that was taken today with my boy. Really looked. And I thought, Who is that woman?
I sure didn't recognize her. The face looked a little fuller than I remembered. The eyes a little more tired. And we won't even get started on the lower half.
Yep. Time's a funny thing.
We change. We grow.
We take pictures of kids going to a dance.
