For some strange reason, I like these flags. You can't tell from the photo, but they are wavy. They look as if someone took the perfect flag waving in the breeze moment and froze it in time. I think I like them so much because of that concept. I wish I could take all those perfect little moments and freeze them.
I really don't want to pause life, I just want to live it in slow motion. I want a remote control where I can push the pause button but then hit fast forward so that I get to live in 1/4 time. Why can't Jack be twenty-three months for four more months? Does he have to turn two?
Sadie can stay in first grade for thirty-six months, right? Ella will hold my hand for eight minutes instead of just two. I can read
Maisy a story for forty stolen minutes, not just ten. I really think it would be nice.
Instead, we seem to live in fast forward. "I can't wait until..." "When I can..." And then, there are the never ending have
tos. Most of which are calling me right now.
So, until I create the Ultimate Lifestyle Remote Control, I will take pictures and attempt to forget that sometimes they don't want their momma to kiss them goodbye.
Or that more often than not, they are running away, just beyond my reach. But when I catch them, watch out, I might even kiss them with lipstick on. I'm sure their friends will like that!
