Where did it go?

Mommy. Wifey. Me. FTW? Not so much lately.

Well, anyway, let's ignore my minor issues of having no time to do anything, and talk about happy (kind of) stuff.

It's March. Which you would think means spring is coming, but you would be forgetting that I live in Michigan, where it is sunny and a toasty warm 33 degrees today.

But it being March, means that April next month. And in April, my babies will both have their birthdays. April 30th Brennan James will turn 3, and April 14th, my sweet little Claire Madelyn will be one.

This cannot be possible. 

Was it really a year ago that I held that beautiful girl in my arms for the first time? A year ago that I first rocked her, that I first nursed her, that I first put her in a little dress and changed her diaper and brought her home and stayed up with her all night watching her sleep because she was so beautiful that I didn't want to put her down?

Where did this year go? Where did the last three years go for that matter? It can't have been three years ago that I looked down into the deep blue eyes of my son for the first time. And now he runs and jumps and talks like a whippoorwill's a** in a windstorm and thinks he can do everything by himself.

I am in denial. My babies cannot be one and three years old. I'm not ready for this. Life needs a rewind button, because it feels like the past three years have gone by at hyperspeed.
