It Only Flies When You Don't Want It To

I just don't get it! When I'm waiting for vacation time to arrive, time drags by. When I'm waiting on something to arrive in the mail, time drags by. It seems it takes forever to move on. The work week, it drags on.

Weekends though, oh they go flying right by. Before I know it my weekend is over and it's back to another work week. Don't get me wrong, I love my job and I appreciate having one. But man I want my weekend hours to go a little slower. When I have my son with me, I want time to creep by. To stand still. But it zips by in a hurry. When the kids are growing it seems to come out of nowhere. I mean, how did my daughter make it to almost 16 (hysterical sobbing here) and my baby is 12. What happened to those years? I swear I blinked and *poof* they are teens. Oh but don't forget that as a teen they have the answers to the worlds problems so make sure you ask them to write them down before they become adults and forget all those answers.

So I'm thinking we need to have a chat with time.We need to let time know when it is and isn't ok to fly by. When we need it to hurry along and when we need it to stand still. This can't possibly be that hard. I tried turning the hands back on the clock....but it didn't do anything for me.

    I hate the way time has a hold on us. Even if I'm taking a lazy Saturday time still tends to fly. So not fair.

    There are times when I wish time had never learned to fly. When I was a kid time passes slowly, but as I got bigger, sometime in there, time took flying lessons. Sneaky time.

    Yes, lets have a chat with time!! I imagine him as an old man, and I'm pretty sure we could take him!

    It's so true. Especially these days. My husband gets one day off a week because he's at school and work. This one day is the only time I get to catch up on sleep a little. It feels like the day goes by in an instant.

    I think weekends should be three days long. :)
