Time Keeps on Tick'n

Yeah it's been a while.  Why? Because I've been so damn busy.  After hubby returned from deployment it has been a whirlwind of activity.  School started for the both the kids and I, which also meant that I went back to working 20 hours a week at the university.

Then add the change in family dynamic going from three members back to four.  Just scheduling our daily lives between homework, dinner, chores, school activities, is crazy.  By the time I realize what's happened the day is over, then a week has past, then two, three and then it's next month.

I thought that this year I would have so much more time:  my classes are more manageable;  the job allows me to work from home two days a week;  and hubby is here to help.  Still it seems has if I have less time to get things accomplished.

Maybe as we get older, it seems as if time goes faster.  Like sand in an hourglass, towards the end it appears that the sand is falling to the bottom faster than before.  Funny how when we want more time, the minutes fly by and when we want something to be over it just drags on and on.  As it was during the deployment, long and dragged out.  Now that he is back time is fleeting.  It worries me sometimes that we'll run out of time.  For what, I don't know.  Another deployment?  A change of some sort?  Who knows what is ahead.

Yet, time remains constant.  Only 24 hrs in day. No more, no less.  Regardless of how we perceive it. So we'll just keep plugg'n along one minute, one hour, one day at a time.
