Where Is That "Pause Button"? -- My Kids Are Growing Up Swiftly
It's been one helluva week! Where have all the days gone?!
A few more flips of the calendar and it will be 2019. Yup! I am already talking about 2019 coz at the rate things are going, it will not be long until then. I just have to look at my children to realize that...
They are growing up too fast!
This morning, my little monster did not want to leave without wearing his rubber shoes. He also chose his own clothes to wear when he goes to our nanny's home. I did not know whether to cry or what... my little baby is already making "major decisions", LOL. To give you an insight, Hubby @kennyroy pretty much laid out here our daily routine.
This young lad is also so clingy to me, I just cannot get anything done at home properly with him around.
"Mommy! Mommy!"Right now, he is all "Mommy." Sometimes stress gets the better of me and I get irritated with all the clinging and whining...
I, too, can get tired, right?
Then again, I snap to my senses after a while and realizes that it will only be a matter of time when he will wish to be independent. The clinging and the whining, "Mommy" will get lesser... or, STOP.
Am I ready for that?
Digging into my heart, I guess NOT. I'd still love to cuddle and snuggle. I'd rather prefer to be their "mommy taxi" than me taking a back seat on their lives.
I guess what I am trying to say is that, no matter how tired we can get, we parents just really have to spend quality time with these little human beings. After all, we are the reasons they are here right?
If only I could add an hour or two to the day, I would. There are just so many things that go on in our lives it is easy to get distracted by the buzz. Things get too complicated that we stress out at the expense of these carefree little people...
Where's that "pause button"?!
It's been helluva week. I wish I had a "pause-button" so I would not need to be in a rush all the time. I'd love to be able to sit and watch things happen, not drown from all things life is throwing at me...
I just remembered this poem I made few months ago.. let us learn a thing or two from these kids...
In today's world full of hustle-bustle; take it or leave it, high or low, make or break -- we sometimes forget to stop, breath and appreciate what the world really has to offer.
When was the last time you really paid attention to the things around you and see them the way a child does?

I can relate to this post @arrliinn. Our little ones are very clingy and getting too smart their age. They ask a lot of questions too. The stress from work should be left behind when we are at home. Someone told me 2 days ago, we should enjoy our little ones even how tired we are because time flies so fast and little did we know they grow up fast as well. We should be enjoying every time we spent with our kiddos. Let the hassle and stress be only during 8hrs everyday for 5 days each week. And the rest must be enjoyed! Life is too short. I know its easier to say. 😉
Yup! We gotta learn how to flip thay switch. Work/Home mode.
There is no other kind of love better than that from a mother.
Thanks for sharing how you feel. It comforts me.
It takes away the anger in me.
As people we have all have our limits. We just have to remember what and how to deal with them.
Have you read the poem? I love going back to it every now and then. 😍
Life is wonderful, what i do to appreciate it is to go to the park or to the beach and just relax and feel my surroundings, after that it feels good. also being with my family always, with my son, he grew up very fast, I was telling my wife, at least when our son grew up, you can still curdle and kiss him, me, there's no way he can stay like a baby boy for me, so i see to it to always grab the time to be together with him coz time runs so fast.
