Time is flying by so fast. I am finding myself a little melancholy today. Christmas is over. New Years day is over. I go back to work on Monday after 2 very full weeks off. The kids are back to school on Tuesday. I am panicking a little because I know I have a ridiculously large pile of work waiting for me at work, spring and summer camps to plan and market, taxes to do, Camp Fair on February 5th, and no brochures, ads or exhibit planned yet!
Then I calm down and relax, and think about all the fun and exciting things I have to look forward to: Josie’s 8th birthday – she is getting her ears pierced and she is so excited! Camp Fair in February, Spring Break camp in March, Music City Family Expo and Earth Day Festival in April, Summer Camp in June, Ellie’s 6th birthday in July, Maddy’s 11th birthday in August…
Then I start to panic again because my kids are getting older, which means I am getting older, which means time is flying again, which means I am so far behind yet time won’t slow down…
For a brief moment I consider a pharmaceutical intervention. Then I just realize that I need to seriously chill out, finish this blog post, and get some sleep. Tomorrow will be here soon (in about 6 hours or so) and I’ll be too busy to realize that time is zipping by and before I know it it will be September 2011 and I will have delayed freaking out by another 9 months!
Hello 2011. I hope the weather is good and any residual anxiety I am having over the loss of 2010 will be gone in the morning.
