I woke up with such mixed emotions about it.Probably because I am off today and have time to think of it.
She had a party on Saturday night, and needless to say, I didn't get any sleep. Yesterday we did our family thing although everyone was rather grouchy from lack of sleep the night before.
I was telling stories of when the kids were little. I have the image of this little girl with big blue eyes and dark curly hair climbing into her cozy coupe car. The one where her feet would move the car. She loves that toy. Course my son had the powerized red corvette. I remember he would follow her and play bumper car. Course, there was no way she could win that. He wouldn't slam into her but he would bump her along. She would never get upset with him. She was always ok with whatever her big brother did. If he wanted the toy she was playing with, she would give it to him and move on to the next toy. Makes me chuckle, that changed a great deal in their teen years where it would turn into a screaming match between the two. Then Saturday night, since my son is 21 he was drinking. My daughter walks up to me and says, "I am NOT baby sitting him tonight." It made me chuckle and warmed my heart that I know she has before when he is drinking. I love the special bond they share.
My feelings this morning have caught me off guard.It's like a combination of sadness and a exciting crossroad in my life. Like now is the time to begin to focus on my own wants and needs.It is a bizarre emotion.I keep having flashbacks to when they were little and I wonder, where is did time go??
