I am sure that everyone feels the same way at the beginning of a month. "I can't believe that it is _____ already!" For me especially though, I am wondering where the time went.
Two years ago (November 2006), I was working at a great job with one of my very good friends doing what I love. I had just gotten married and settled into our new house that we were renting from family. And unknowingly to me (because of false negative tests) I was pregnant with Freddy.
18 months ago (May 2007), I was well into my pregnancy with Freddy. Dennis and I were packing because in one month we were moving again. I was still working at the VA with Michele. I was also starting to take the Jewelry Business more seriously.
One year ago (November 2007), I was putting in my notice at the VA. Freddy was sleeping through the night and getting bigger everyday! We became permanent vendors At The Warehouse, and our storefront was looking GREAT! Dennis and I bought a new car because we both had really small cars. We traded in his two-door for a small SUV (which is mine hehe). We were getting ready for our first holiday season with Freddy, and couldn't be more excited.
6 months ago (May 2008) I was pregnant again...with triplets...then twins. Life stopped for Dennis and I for about a week, and then it has been going at ludicrous speed (which for those of you that haven't seen Spaceballs, is quite a bit faster than warp speed, which is where our lives are usually run at!). Freddy was 10 months old and everyday was a new adventure for him.
Now here it is November 2008. I could have the babies any day (though we are hoping that they stay cooking for at least another 2 weeks). Freddy is amazing. Dennis and I are looking at houses...to buy this time! We have made some great new friends and trying very hard to hold onto our best friends. And what I want to know is...when did I grow up?
I can't pinpoint the day when I changed into the person that I am today. A person that I never saw in my cards, and yet here I am. There are days when I just want to hide under the covers and cry, hoping to wake up in high school, or college, or the day before my wedding...those are usually the days when we have to pay rent, or make a car payment, or go grocery shopping! My house is a mess (except for my bathroom which I scrubbed top to bottom on Saturday), I haven't cooked a good meal in forever, I have NO idea how Dennis and I are going to get Christmas presents for anyone let alone for Freddy and the twins....and I wouldn't change any of it for the world.
This is not the life that I had imagined I would have...even two years ago. But it is the life that I was given, and I have been blessed with a great one.

A few things...1) I just teared up a little bit. 2) It says you posted at 3something am...this is unacceptable...3am up all alone is when the monsters are out, and since we both know how big of a chicken you are (when it is dark)...next time you are up at 3am and feeling like being some place else...call my ass. 3) I don't remember a garsh darn present I got at the age of two- I do however remember having two parents who loved me. Save your money- buy teddy grahams. 4) I'm glad you are my neighbor, even more so that you are my friend- don't move too far away. 5) Lean on me, I will lean on you and we can hold each other up!
Sorry, but my cup runeth over with sap this evening!
