Do I miss it? Sometimes. Do I miss your life updates? Duh. Do I find myself running late far less? You betcha. And I'm not on my phone as much, which means I'm either doing something productive or paying more attention to my kids - can't go wrong there right?
I really thought April 16 would bring a huge sigh of relief and less stress/responsibility. I was a believer!!! But what I found was that I traded one stress for another. There were so many things at work and at home that I had neglected from about January 10 through April 15, and then there was a sudden realization that I had 6 weeks to prepare for a baby and 8 weeks to prepare for a move. (But really, I better be prepared for that move BEFORE that baby!) so, I found myself no less stressed and no less busy.
Our moving binder is in tact and it makes my heart happy. I love our moving binder! Hotel reservations, flight reservations, pet arrangements, household good arrangements, Aurora house sale paperwork, Killeen house hunt details -- it's all in one place. The list of contents goes on but I don't want to bore you. Austin made fun of our binder 3 years ago but he was the one who pushed to get it going this time and now he loves it. Dare I say I may have rubbed off on him in some organizational matter??? Nah, I won't jinx it. But it does help keep things together when there are so many moving pieces - and it feels good when we knock something off the to do list (conveniently found in section 8 of the binder).
And even with my recent boycott of Facebook time still seems to just be slipping away no matter what I do.
I thought it was april 16 but I blinked and its may 8. I'm not quite sure how! This weekend is Mother's Day, next weekend austin and william go house hunting, the next weekend we celebrate our crazy baby's birthday, then the next weekend we are preparing to welcome the little surprise bundle of (well, stress to be honest) and joy! Where did all of the time go? Wasn't I supposed to relax a little somewhere in there?
So - yeah, I've kind of been MIA from blogging for waaaay too long and I've recently been MIA from Facebook. But I do hold out hope that one day soon I'll find myself back in the swing of social media. Less than before perhaps, but hopefully not living in a cave. Until then - think of me often :) I'll surely think of you.
