ominous encounter

I saw myself at the gym today. I was ten years older and took pity on my present self...a frazzled mother of three who was trying to give her year old son a bottle while balancing uncomfortably on a locker room bench, while trying to assist her 7 yr old daughter whose shoelaces wouldn't come untied, at the same time her 4 yr old daughter was sliding up and down the other bench on her belly, screaching "I'm swimmin' I'm swimmin'" The me of ten years from now, kindly helped the 7 yr old with her shoes, while she told the current me how she had three girls the same age span who were now 18, 16 and 12. When I asked my future self how that worked out, the future me got teary-eyed and said, "As crazy as this seems now... enjoy them while you can."
