Where has the time gone?

I am always promising myself that every time I check back in here I am going to do better and write more and then life slips away.  It is 2014 and I find myself thinking back to that time when as a young girl I wanted to be "older" and then as my children have grown older wanting time to slow down.  I believe that is irony at it's greatest.  We always want what we do not have!  I'm blessed because I do have this unique group of people who love and support me.  I've watched some amazing things and I've witnessed some sad things as well.  I'm grateful for each day and all the precious "moments" I've been allowed to have.  I'm eternally grateful for a BFF that has stood by my side even when I say and do really idiotic things.  I'm grateful for a son that while we do not always see eye to eye shares my quirky sense of humor and my brown eyes!  I'm extremely grateful for a mom who's never left my side and has been the "mom she didn't have to be". I love you mom thank you for being in my life and loving me!
