Turn Back Time, Please

[rivertempest]

I wish I had a Time-Turner.  Not like the fake one hanging from my rear-view mirror, but a real one

Time doesn't allow for turning back.
Time is a bitch on wheels. Wheels that rotate quickly.
*cheers for Brandon.
*comes as close as I can to a hug for you

[rivertempest]

That it is, that it is. Fucking heifer.

*glomps you anyway*

[toblass]

Where does the time go? And how/why do they grow up so fast?

*hugs*

[rivertempest]

I know, right? *shakes head*

One day, you'll be getting Kai ready for kindergarten, and the next, you'll be helping HIM pick out colleges.

Sometimes I envy you your little ones. *sighs*

I'm already feeling that way about Max.

The other day, I heard him say something about. "Gotta look cool for the girls..."

WTF????

[rivertempest]

OMG, really? Wee Max???

Oh, man...

[torino10154]

Wow. They do grow so fast. I'm sure he'll do marvelously where ever he goes and you'll have much to be proud of. *nods*

I remember being at my daughter's 5th grade "graduation" and it was seeing the kindergarteners that made me realize how big she was and that's when I started tearing up.

[rivertempest]

Yes, I'll be very proud of whatever he wants to do. *nods*

OMG. I'm gonna be a mess when he graduates from high school. *meep!*

Can't we keep them little for just a bit longer?

[stgulik]

He could do well in film production! A friend of ours went to SUNY and now works in L.A. for Nickelodeon.

[rivertempest]

No way! COOL!

I'm trying to keep him realistic while at the same time telling him the sky's the limit.

Oh, darlin'. I can relate. My daughter is a HS Junior as of yesterday. Already she's talking about the SATs, colleges tours, the application process ... She's taller than me, too ... and she said one day, she'll be a science genius - and then amended herself and said she would be a science wizard instead ... It's not fair; time is sprinting by.

[rivertempest]

Oh, wow!! So you know exactly how I'm feeling. Do you feel kind of left out?

Brandon's taller than me too, but he was bound to be that way. And he wonders why I get him X-large t-shirts anymore.

That's awesome she wants to be a science wizard! What area?

[stgulik]

I sometimes feel really left out, and I try not to pout about it. When it's at its worst, I suggest lunch out or something where I can get some face time with her. That helps.

She isn't sure which area. Both the ocean and space are not completely explored yet, and that appeals to her.

[rivertempest]

Ah, gotcha. I must do that more.

Ooo, either of those sounds fascinating! Space is my preference, but that's just me. ;)

I'm afraid I can't be objective when it comes to his choice of schools *hums USC fight song* but I can sympathize with your bewilderment at the passage of time. How on earth does it go so quickly? My "little" sister is getting married in two months and I still remember her following me around as a toddler wanting to dress like me.

*sigh*

I'm sure Brandon will be an asset to whatever school he attends, and whatever field he chooses. But that doesn't make the fact that he's growing up any easier. *hugs*

[rivertempest]

Right! I mean, I remember being in high school and wondering where I'd go... and then I turn around and my SON is wondering where to go! *mind is boggled*
