First day back at school for my girlies :D

Wow...just wow. My daughters are in grade 5 & 6 this year. Time certainly does fly by...but oh, how I wish it wouldn't fly by so fast! D:

That's not to say I do not enjoy watching them growing and watching the changes that take place...I do find enjoyment in their ever developing personalities...seeing how much they've grown, how independant they're becoming....but still...still I wish they were small...especially with the impending birth of my 3rd child coming soon. Ah, here I go getting teary eyed again, damn sentimental heart.

This song that I'm about to share...is a glimpse into how I'm feeling. To feel both joy and sadness as I watch my daughters grow and become young ladies...what a mixed bag that is, heh. This video clip is from Mama Mia...I love Meryl Streep's voice...she sings to my heart...so without further adieu, here is Slipping Through My Fingers from Mama Mia



Abba - Slipping Through My Fingers
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go with a surge of that well known sadness
and and I have to sit down for a while
the feeling that I'm losing her forever
and without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
that funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
the feeling in it slipping through my fingers all the time
do I really see what's in her mind
each time I think I'm close to knowing
she keeps on growing
slipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
barely awake I let precious time go by
then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholyc feeling
and a sense of guilt I can't deny
what happened to the wonderful adventures
the places I had planned for us to go
well, some of that we did, but most we didn't
and why, I just don't know

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
the feeling in it slipping through my fingers all the time
do I really see what's in her mind
each time I think I'm close to knowing
she keeps on growing slipping through my fingers all the time
sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
and save it from the funny tricks of time(slipping through my fingers)

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile...

Enjoy the time that you share with your little ones ladies and gents...for soon...they will be full grown and will leave the nest that you so lovingly created for them. Time is so precious...so make the most of it...don't let that time go to waste with "We'll do that later" and "We have plenty of time to go do _____"...enjoy them while you still can, for they grow so fast...it's heartbreaking :'C
