Where does the time go???

I swear just yesterday I was graduating from high school trying to figure out what I was going to do with my life. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do, I had no clue where I would be in 5 years. I never thought about having kids at that time, all I knew was that I had finally made it through school and I was happy. I never imagined that 9 years later I would miss school, I would want my childhood back or anything that had to go with it. Now today, I have 3 kids who I adore more than anything in this world, I have a wonderful Husband who provides so well for us, I have been through he%% and back again and again and I am still working at the same place as I was 8 and half years ago. CRAZY!! I never imagined I would have 3 kids and at that, 3 wonderful kids who bring SO much joy to my life, who make me smile and laugh on a daily basis. I never imagined I would have the Husband I have or someone who cares about me so much. I know I have made mistakes a long the way, but who hasn't and I say we all learn from there. What I can't figure out is where the time goes. Next week my little girl will be ONE YEARS OLD!! I am sad, like really really really sad. I hate that this last year has gone by so fast, but then I look at everything that happened and am glad that we all survived it, all FIVE of us. My babies are growing up way too fast, no one said that motherhood when by this fast, no one told you that one day you would be bringing home your baby and the next day sending them off for their first day of school, no one told me that motherhood is BY FAR the most rewarding job on earth. Or maybe someone did and I just didn't believe it at that time. So I still wish I could freeze time right now, but instead I will watch my babies grow up in the blink of an eye.
