so fast

I remember being a new mother, hearing everyone tell me to treasure every moment, because "they grow up so fast." But, I felt like I could just hold that warm bundle in my arms forever. Then, there was another one, and I could hardly keep up. Time flies when you're busy, and now my little girls are getting ready to go to preschool. So fast.

We were driving down the interstate the other day. Suddenly, there was a car coming across all the lanes and nearly ramming into the side up us. I slammed on the brakes and laid my hand on the horn. I could hardly take it off, I was so stunned. My shock and relief that we were not injured quickly turned to rage. Not road rage, but Mommy-rage. How dare that ignorant and completely oblivious driver almost run us off the road and get away with it. It was all I could do not to chase the driver down, drag my kids out of the car, and make him or her look into their eyes. Realize the lives he/she nearly cut short. It all happens so fast.
