me? a grown-up?

on a day-to-day basis, i don't have the feeling of being a grown-up. you know, the one you wanted to be when you were a little kid? does anyone else feel like that? it's not that i feel like a little kid but it's like i'm not quite done growing up. today, i had a moment of grown-up-ness. i was pouring my second cup of coffee with a parenting magazine under my arm and then i walked into my living room where my child was playing. a wave of adulthood. but now i'm sitting in my living room where my husband is playing videogames with his buddy...no more grown-up moments here. haha.

I can't think of any moment in particular (such as the very clear one you describe in the post), but I'm pretty sure I've felt the "waves of adulthood" wash over me from time to time...and I remember I'm not actually 16 any more.

My question to you would be...do you feel like time is "flying by" moreso now than in the past? When I was younger, I always remember the adults discussing that stuff...
