2012 is going to be a year of change for my family. It seems like many of the past several years have had big changes - moving, babies, and the like. But this one takes the cake. My husband is currently in the process of leaving his job, and he'll be starting a new one next month. I will be leaving my job in July. The kids will be starting new schools in September. Oh, and we've decided this is the perfect time to tear down and renovate a large portion of our house! These are all good changes, but it is a lot to manage. I will be living in a state of chaos for a while, including having no kitchen (!). Wish us luck.
This week's Three Beautiful Things:
1. Demolition Day! There is a big pay loader in my yard, knocking down walls as I type. Let the renovation begin!
2. Mimosas, apricot-lemon scones, family, and a beautiful day. We had a very nice Easter.
3. The front porch is outlined by beautiful Spring flowers. The mix of blues, reds, and purples are a cheerful way to be greeted at home.
I feel for you.. so much change going on in my life right now too, and that in itself is a stress factor, even if they are good changes.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to embrace this sort of chaos! I think you are so right. We are in a similar state (we don't have demolition but we do have business start-up). Husband awaiting a job offer. Kids changing schools in September - the future just presses on, with or without us. Just breatheeee..... ;-)

My oh my - sounds like a pretty full summer ahead! But your quote sums it up well - best of luck with the demolition - exciting and stressful at the same time I imagine. Annie x
