This isn’t really my flashback. This flashback belongs to my brother-in-law Eric’s wife, Paige. Paige probably doesn’t know this, but I think of her every time I buy milk. Why? Because of this lovely post she made last year.

Time Flies When You’re Drinking Milk
During these years of motherhood, when so many days seem to be the same, I have found myself reminded of time passing by the dates on the gallons of milk I buy. As I heft the gallons out of the slider rows I see the printed date and realize that time is indeed flying by.
Yesterday’s milk cartons had December 14th stamped on them which puts it in perspective, even though we do have our tree already, that Christmas is just around the corner.
Milk cartons often remind me of upcoming birthdays, including my own. I know it’s coming but when you see your date, or one close to it, stamped on the carton, that makes it real.
I have lots more to blog about, pictures to post — taken with our new camera — but that will have to do for tonight. Milk anyone?
Isn’t that great?

Time always flies by so fast, doesn’t it?
That is so true…so very true.
