Life goes by too fast....

Life seems to be going by too fast. I hear myself complain about how long the work day is but when I am at home things seem to be hurrying along. My baby is a freshman and my daughter is a senior in high school!. How did this all happen?  In 4 months she will be 18, already talking about the day she will move out and tackle the world on her own... ahhh sad momma.... I know that as a parent you are to raise your children the best you can and then send them out in the world to live their own lives.  I am proud of my children and who they are becoming but I am no where near ready to let them go. Being a single mom for most of their lives has made all three of us grow up together. I do not remember life before them or can even imagine life with out them here with me. We are the only constant thing we have every had. People come and go out of our lives but we have always been together and been here for each other.  So life, please so down a bit, just for me, just so I can cherish every second a little more and have time to be grateful for all the craziness my life offers!
