What do you do when life creeps up on you? I have been wondering that for some time now. The past seven years have passed by so fast. My baby is in first grade soon to be 6. Jason and me have been married 5 years.
My outlook on life has changed many times over the years, and all things I thought I knew I found out I had no clue about. I found out all the lies were truths and all the truths were lies.
The monsters under the bed were to be replaced with my husbands shoes. (which can be just as bad lol)
. The wild belts at my waist were to be replaced my my husbands loving arms wrapped around me. Eventually late nights out were nights in early. Being up all night was no longer for parties but from baby cries.
The smallest smile the tiniest of steps and the simplest of words were cause for celebration and long distant calls.
Soon I added Crime fighter to my ever growing résumé as I sought out evil monsters whose job was to scare and harm. Every cough and every sneeze was a cause for alarm and a call to my mother or doctor.
No camera could take pictures fast enough to slow the growing time. I was afraid to blink in case I missed something. And sure enough when I blinked years flew by. One year I had the cutest puppy the next a very fluffy bear, another year later I had an odd blue puppy. But soon he grew and I had a Jedi Knight on my hands. The following year he came to my rescue as a handsome Super hero.This year you go to your roots and want to be Italian and Mario.
