The opposite of slow

This boy does everything fast. To get him to sit still is miraculous. He's growing too fast. Talking too fast, doing everything too fast. He's so attached to me, it's both a blessing and a curse. Not a curse. Not really that but sometimes a double edged sword. How can you be a mamma, a part time business person, a fixer, a doer, a cleaner, and balance all that with the emotions of a normal woman but add in all the other stuff I think and remember and worry about? How does it all get balanced? I don't know. Fast. It's like a short order chef, throwing things on a plate. I gladly do it for these boys. For this little one. There's nothing slow around here. If you don't stop and focus, you will most definitely miss it. Words that he couldn't say right, now he does and I can't remember how he used to say it that made it so cute. And the Oldest, getting so high and mighty with his thoughts and opinions. TOO fast. I'm almost caught off guard.

We live a life that is definitely the opposite of slow. No doubt. Maybe we should be Amish. That would be nice.
