Have you ever stopped to think about life in 5 years from now? I mean REALLY THOUGHT about it? We said goodbye to several caregivers at daycare today as this is the girls’ last day. Dr. Jay pointed out that we would eventually leave. I know this.
It got me thinking to 5 years from now.
In 5 years:
- Soleil will be 8.5 and Luna will be 6.5
- School years. My kids will be in school!
- Daycare will be gone, as will diapers and sippies and bottles
- I will be starting my 15th year at work (I hope)
- The spacecraft will have been flying for 12 years
- Dr. Jay and I will have been together for 19 years
- We will truly be "from Boston" yikes
Strange thoughts indeed…. Very strange thoughts…
I have thought about this, too. It seems I’ll be living a lifestyle that is just completely foreign to me right now. And yet, five years ago THIS was all foreign to me, lol. I always come away from this thought experiment both awed by the ever-changing path of parenting, and also a bit anxious that time is moving too quickly already.
