How is it that time flies so fast?

And thus, I cannot seem to keep up with a blog, let alone journals, photo albums and baby books like I used to. Is this because I am getting older or just super duper busy with two kids, a busy household and a crazy over-worked husband?
I've been contemplating these things much more lately...how time seems to fly, that is. How a year can go by before I know it and I find myself and our family buried in half-done and dusty projects. But does that stop us from piling more projects on top of them? Not in the Kaiser household, it doesn't! I contstantly find myself making New Years Resolutions, or "plans" as Jonathan calls them, only to find the year overwith, my "plans" unaccomplished and new things I would like to add to that.
For example, last year in 2010, I turned 30 in January and my goal (having Adaya the previous November) wanting to lose weight and be "in the best shape of my life." By the end of last December, though, I of course was too busy with two kids that I just wasnt making weight loss, diet and exercise a priority anymore. This New Years, I found myself fired up again to renew that challenge as well as add another 10 or so "plans" to it! 3 months later, here I am in March, just 3 now completing Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred...in 90 days! (sigh) And my other "plans" including eating healthier, cooking more and eating out less, reading more and watching less as well as my biggest one writing more and surfing less have all been about the same success rate. I am doing better, but it is a slow process.
I guess I feel a little overwhelmed. Jonathan contiues to work long hours and commute 4 days a week to Salem, we are trying to figure out preschool for Chloe next year, thinking about "trying" pretty soon for baby number 3 and Ive been working several hours every day for over a week on a project that I have been literally stopping and starting for 7 years! All of these things, added to the daily requirements of our life sometimes makes it feel like I finish cleaning the entire house, only to have to start over again. Didn't I JUST do laundry or didnt I JUST clean all the toilets? Sometimes, my wonderful parents take the kids for an overnight stay and Jonathan and I get to do something fun or have a date night, but those are the times that fly the fastest, it seems!
I can see now why people always say "dont blink." It surely seems as though life passes us by so quickly. My prayer for our family is constantly that we enjoy each moment and live each day to the fullest, because it soon will be a distant memory to put on the shelf of our history. I pray this for you and yours as well!
