Oh to be young and carefree again!

So I was just looking through pictures that I took over the weekend and came across this beautiful little girl. She looks like she doesn't have a care in the world (which is probably because she doesn't!). I was thinking how nice it would be to not have to worry about how college tuition and the mission are going to get paid. Or being concerned about how my daughter is doing on her own. Or wondering if my son is ever going to see school as something worth while. . . Or hoping that my order of rhinestones will come in time for me to get 19 costumes done by Dec. I wonder what I should cook for dinner tonight? Why do I have such a hard time retaining what I am learning in Spanish? I wish I had a maid so I don't have to clean my house! and when am I going to have time to do that? I have to get something for my dad for his birthday. I hope I can get my 10 loads of laundry done today. . . . Oh I guess I got a little carried away. Don't get me wrong I am not complaining, I LOVE my life! But I wish I had a few more of those "carefree" moments to enjoy it all!

I'm there with you! I always thought that being able to stay at home would give me plenty of time to get everything done and more....sooo not the case. You have a beautiful house and I've only been there a couple of times, but it's always looked so put together and gorgeous as do you and your family. It sure would be nice to not have any cares and be a child again. I love the picture!

I would give anything to be young and carefree again! If only little kids knew how much we want to be in their shoes right now!!!

Amen to all of what you said!! I can't seem to stay on top of things at all. Sometimes I have to remind myself to enjoy life and don't sweat the small stuff!

Love the picture by the way...Amazing!!
