A year goes by so fast

I heard a saying a while back and realized it's so true. "The days go slow but the years fly by" The quote was referencing how fast children grow, but it is so true about life. I realized yesterday it had been exactly a year since we got the news the REC was closing and we would all have to transfer to new locations for separate with the postal service.

It has no doubt been a rough, bumpy and sometime horrible ride these past 12 months. So much has changed and I sometimes just want to give up and runaway with Leroy & the kids to an unknown island. I think I've put Leroy through so many mood swings it's not even funny! But he knows I'm just venting and reassures me it's just what we have to do for now. A year ago I knew what I was doing each and every day, had a house with a huge yard for the kids and not completely but mostly very little stress. A year later, we live outside of LA, I never know what I'm doing day to day because of scheduling me in 3 different offices and huge stress.

I do count my blessings, I have 2 healthy children who are wonderful (99% of the time)! A wonderful loving husband who I absolutely am very grateful for. And I have a job, though stressful, so many people don't have a job and I do. So many changes and decisions to make. My only home is that the next 12 months aren't as stressful or hectic.....maybe I'm just wishful thinking!

Well I always have my scrapbooking & card making that relaxes me! I've managed to send everyone a birthday card this year that I have a birthday for, except my Aunt Liz. Aunt Liz if you read this blog...when is your birthday? Maybe I'll just send a card and ask =)
