We all feel it this time of year. The sense of urgency for so many things. The wanting of Spring, Spring cleaning and organization, getting kids organized for Summer, making Summer plans, birthday parties, end of school year activities, and of course—for me–work. The Spring is in full swing! And it feels like I am going to blink and Summer will be here and next thing you know Fall and the year all starts over again.
I feel the sense of urgency that I am losing time. This short time of their little childhood. I long for it to slow down. Stop. Freeze. I don’t want to let them grow. Although my girls are so close in age, this one is still my baby. But all she can’t wait for is turning 5.
Sigh. Next week is her birthday. The big one. The next step.
Send the tissues my way. I am having a hard time with this transition. Trying to let her go and be free to be five. It just ain’t easy.
