"I'm in a hurry to get things done
Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun
All I really gotta do is live and die
But I'm in a hurry and don't know why.
This song fits me pretty well. Everything I do I feel as though I am punching time clock. If you know me at all, you know that punctuality is extremely important to me and I am rarely late. However, even when I know I will be on time, I still speed, hurry and get very impatient when detours occur.
I started writing this back in April and interestingly enough, after I wrote the above, I started to really pay attention to trying to slow down when I did things. It did seem to help and to help me realize how fast things are going.
Now as I write this tonight, Emeline will be starting Kindergarten tomorrow. I have been thinking about it for a few weeks now and I can't believe we are starting the next phase with her. It doesn't seem real that she is starting school.
Even though the girls have been going to preschool the last few years, it just means we are another step close to the girls getting older. Odette will be 4 in October and with Emeline starting "real" school, we are slowly moving out of the toddler, preschooler ages and getting closer to that whole school age kid.
As this moment appeared out of nowhere, I know the next phase will just as quickly. I hope that I can learn to slow down and appreciate what matters and not look back and have missed anything.
