Feeling ancient

It is most definately an odd feeling ... my baby is 16. And I SWEAR it was like just a couple of years ago he was in diapers, learning to walk ....

There's a country song called "Don't Blink" by Kenny Chesney that addresses this very subject. We all can identify w/it, for sure. My "baby" is 40. Funny how we're both the same age now.

Awww, you all are making me teary eyed.

Happy Birthday to your "baby".

Going to find that tune!

By the way, you don't look old enough to have a baby of 40.........

Oooooh, I will remember that little trick. I certainly don't want to be sixteen again, but I'll file it for future use!

Lut - Katie's card was waiting for her when she got home last night. She has asked me to send you a great big thank you.

It was a very sweet and thoughtful thing to do xxx

It is a strange feeling to realize the fact that time passes so quickly
and so unnoticed. My children were both home for Christmas & I noticed
for the first time that my son had gray hairs in his beard.

How can that be, when I don't feel old. (most of the time)

That is SUCH a good song! It really makes me think.. where I am now and where I have been!

Here's the video link to it: (it should work)

Here are the lyrics:

I turned on the evening news
Saw a old man being interviewed
Turning a hundred and two today
Asked him what's the secret to life
He looked up from his old pipe
Laughed and said "All I can say is."

Don't blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink

I was glued to my tv when it looked like he looked at me and said
"Best start putting first things first."
Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand
You can't flip it over and start again
Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worth

Don't Blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink

So I've been tryin' ta slow it down
I've been tryin' ta take it in
In this here today, gone tomorrow world we're livin' in

Don't blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster then you think
So Don't blink

Naw, don't blink, don't blink
Life Goes Faster Than You Think
Don't Blink...
