It's the end of the day and I'm simultaneously blogging and chatting with my husband on Skype. I'm a pretty good multi-tasker, so I should be able to type and talk at the same time. We'll see how this goes and decide if I can do this again another time.
It's been over a year now since my husband left for his overseas assignment. Actually, we're coming up on 13 months since he's been there and not here. Do you ever stop to think about all the things that actually happen in a year? Over this past year I have retained two attorneys. One to do battle with my husband's ex-wife over his daughter and one here locally to get the adoption paperwork filed and finalized so that my husband can adopt my youngest daughter. I've also been in and out of the juvenile court system with my oldest daughter. Dealt with multiple case workers in two different states over a couple different issues...all with no resolution currently. The adoption has halted until my husband gets back stateside. Our attorney in Illinois wants more money. I've dealt with skin cancer and had a hysterectomy...all in the course of one years time.
It's a lot when you stop and think about it. However; as I was going through it, as overwhelmed as I felt, I also felt as if there was nothing happening. How is that possible? There is a lot of things that happen over time and unless we really stop to look back and think about it, we don't quite realize all of it.
