Wishing My Life Away
Life has been pretty boring lately. I apologize to all my readers that my blog seems to have become all about being pregnant and most of you really can't relate and really don't care but that's pretty much all that's going on with me these days so I share. And if you don't want to read it you don't have to. I need to start writing down other topics I think of because I can't remember them when it comes time to post. Like I have to do with my grocery list.
Several people I know have recently found out they are pregnant. One of the gals at work is pregnant with her second. But her first child is already 12 and she's not looking forward to starting all over. The first one will be going off to college and the second will be starting kindergarten. I wouldn't want to be in her shoes.
Big Red is also pregnant with her second and I spent the afternoon yesterday with her and her very active 1 year old. I haven't spent much time with her in the past several years although I still consider her one of my best friends. We caught up on each other's lives but spent most of the afternoon chasing her son around the house. He's adorable but I was worn out by the time they left. I don't know how she does it all day long and I was glad I wouldn't have to do that for about 18 more months. But then I got freaked out that I actually had a realistic timeline for when I would have my own rambunctious 1 year old to chase around the house.
I have realized that many of us spend a lot of time wishing our lives away instead of enjoying the time as it passes. "I wish I was done with school" or "I wish I was married" or "I wish this baby was here already!" I'm definitely guilty of this and I've decided I need to step back and actually enjoy every minute and not try to hurry things along because soon they're over and all we can do is look back and wish we could relive it all one more time.
