Where does the time go?

I can't believe my little baby girl is going to be one year old in a mere 8 days. I know everyone says this but it does seem like just yesterday I was bringing her home from the hospital and struggling to get through the days as a new mommy. Now, I feel like an old pro...well, at least most days. The thing with kids is that they are CONSTANTLY changing which requires flexibility. And those who really know me, know that is not exactly my strong suit. I like control and structure. Rather, I NEED it. So, you throw me into a situation where nothing is in my control and every thing can change at the drop of a hat and that's just asking for trouble! Revelation! No wonder I struggled so much with this parenting thing. That said, I must thank my precious girl for helping her mommy to grow. She has taught me invaluable lessons about patience, taking it one day (or one hour) at a time, and letting things go. I still have much to learn but each day brings new joys and new challenges that, quite frankly, I now know I can handle. Maybe I'll even find time to blog more...
