fast forward

there are days i dont feel like me.  ya know?  i tend to make excuses these days for reasons why its so hard to clean the house, workout regularly, etc.  i sometimes wish, selfishly, that i could fast forward through the next few years to where i'll think i'll be able to read a book when i feel like it, go on a run without having to pay a babysitter or go window shopping just because.  i then realize a few moments after, that if things were to fast forward i would miss out on ALOT of fun memories and adventures with my boys and my hubby. 

memories like these:

I remind myself as often as possible that though it may be hard at times....this is sooo worth it!
