{A Moment to Myself...}

It's been such a fun week, I cannot believe I only have a day and a half left with my mom!! It's no fun that time has to go by so fast. But we have really had such a great time together...it makes me hate these miles in between us!
Tonite, mom and I went and saw Mamma Mia, this would be my THIRD time...and I think the movie just gets better as time goes on! (I might even see it a 4th, since I found out today the chick who cuts my hair wants to see it! LOL)










There is a part towards the end of the movie, where Sophie asks her mom to help her get ready for her wedding.

They sing this song, Slipping Through My Fingers. And all three times I have seen it, I get all teary, like a goober. The first two times I heard the song, I related it to how I felt about my daughters...how small moments are so important with them.
But tonite, I was more than teary because I related the lyrics to how I felt about my own mom. Music makes me feel more than anything else, I think...and the lyrics to this song make me want to just hug my mom and hold onto her....not let her go!

The Lyrics:

DONNA:

Schoolbag in hand

She leaves home in the early morning

Waving goodbye

With an absent-minded smile

I watch her go

With a surge of that well-known sadness

And I have to sit down for a while

The feeling that I'm loosing her forever

And without really entering her world

I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter

That funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers all the time

I try to capture every minute

The feeling in it

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Do I really see what's in her mind

Each time I think I'm close to knowing

She keeps on growingS

lipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes

Her and me at the breakfast table

Barely awakeI let precious time go by

Then when she's gone

There's that odd melancholy feeling

And a sense of guiltI can't deny

What happened to the wonderful adventures

The places I had planned for us to go

Well some of that we did

But most we didn't

And why I just don't know

Slipping through my fingers all the time

I try to capture every minute

The feeling in it

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Do I really see what's in her mind

Each time I think I'm close to knowing

She keeps on growing

Slipping through my fingers all the time

DONNA & SOPHIE:

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture

And save it from the funny tricks of time

Slipping through my fingers -

DONNA:Schoolbag in hand

She leaves home in the early morning

Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
