Can You Ever Go Back?

Someone once said, "Yesterday is history.  Tomorrow is a mystery.  Today is a gift - that's why we call it the present."  

Lately I have been wanting to go back in time to when things seemed more simple.  I say SEEMED because at the time I am sure that I didn't think that they were simple.  I am sure that I thought those times were just as complicated, stressful, and draining as the present has been.

Yes, I didn't have to deal with being a manager and having to deal with personnel issues but there were always work issues.  Seriously, those are a constant and I am mindful that there are a lot of things I cannot control.  I'm sure I had the same home issues like a not-as-neat-as-I'd-like house.  The one thing that I can say is better today than before is the boys.

The oldest one has settled into a school routine and has been potty-trained for almost a year; the youngest one is well on his way.  I can be happy that this year, we don't have summer camp issues.  There are times when I wish we could rewind and replay parts of life similar to TiVo.  Yeah, that will never happen!
