Dec 27

This was the expiration date on my three jugs of milk today.

I did a double take.

I then realized 2 weeks from tomorrow is this date.

My baby will be ONE.

I drove by the hospital where he was born tonight.

I saw the big Christmas tree on top all lit up.

It was this way 351 days ago when we drove there at crawl-speed during a blizzard. 

How in the world did a whole year go by?

I looked at baby pictures of him last week.

I feel like I don't remember any of it.

Never has a year of my life gone by so fast.

Never has it been such a blurr.

Is this how it will be til my kids are grown and gone? 

Probably.

I don't like that time goes by so quickly.

I didn't know a date on a milk jug could bring such emotion, but it did.

It also reminded me that I have 15 days to finish all my Christmas stuff, gather 1st bday stuff, pack and just get through the holiday.  Still pretty confident this is not enough time.  But also fairly confident that whether I get all the stuff on my to-do list done, time will go on and I will survive :)
