One of my friends recently made a comment that the last year has gone by fast. I stopped for a second and throught about it. You know what, I think this has been one of the longest years of my life. It seems like my perception of time has really slowed down a bit. Which is good; I wouldn't want to go through life at hyperspeed. Enough of it has gone by already; I want to enjoy the time I have still ahead of me.
One of the reasons for this feeling is probably the joys of parent hood. Namely; chronic lack of sleep, chronic fatigue, and chronic sympathetic pregnancy brain. Since Gage was born, I've found that it takes a great deal more effort to concentrate on things. Its a lot harder to juggle multiple tasks without becoming overwhelmed. I dunno if its being a parent that causes it, or my age, or if its merely the tiredness factor.
Gage's birthday is next week. We're deep into planning it. We hope to bring together our friends and relatives for a little fun and relaxation. This weekend's main activity was preparing the place for guests. We ordered a dumpster which we filling with all our leftover debris from reworking the kitchen. It was hard work, but not that's another task to check off the list.
Attached is a gallery of cute Gage pictures from this week.
