How did they grow up so fast?!
Are you feeling like this at the moment? Like it's only a few precious moments ago that you had all these plans and ideas about how their childhood would be, and suddenly they are asking for their own phone and applying to secondary school and couldn't give a toss about the cookie baking idea you had.
What happened?
Yesterday my daughter was listening to my iPod on random shuffle and came across a song she called "Sister Add It". It turns out it was Five Star's classic "System Addict". When I mentioned it to my husband and had the nerve to say I'm showing her some great retro tunes he replied, "Five Star isn't retro; it's ancient!"
Oh good grief!
It's less that the children have grown up. It's more that I seem to have missed the passing of the years and am suddenly a decade older.
I turned 41 this year. I feel 21 still. I'm definitely aiming to increase my flexibility this year in dance class and get down into those 'splits'. So I'll be lying to my body from now on. I'll be insisting that it responds exactly as it did at 21, whether it likes it or not.
I'm sure my knees will be delighted with the news!
What lies do you tell yourself in an effort to feel younger?
