[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]47 was a busy, good year for me.  I was exercising, my kids were older elementary and middle school - involved in lots of activities, easy kids.

48 was probably my most stressful year.  We had to contend with a sudden job relocation move and that meant a month of intense, back breaking labor - getting the house decluttered/pared down, moving stuff to storage, getting the yard trimmed/spiffed up, painting, deep cleaning and then moving out of the house while the house was shown/under contract/sold.  Also it meant moving our rising Hs and MS kids to brand new school systems, in a different state when our new home was still under construction.  We lived in hotels at first and then a temp apartment and had to commute to their schools every day.

Pile on overseeing the construction of our house...it was just a lot all at once. Then when the house was completed, moving, yet again, from our rental to the house.  It was a crazy, back breaking year.  Thank God I went into it in fairly decent shape.[/quote]

48 was my low point as well. My mom died of cancer and Trump was elected shortly thereafter.  We all still miss her every day. I hate that we never got to hear her commentary on the current political situation. She was a Republican for most of her voting life and loved to talk politics. [/quote]

We also had a death in the family shortly after we moved into our new house.  48 had it's highs and lows no doubt about it.  It was the year that our lives were upended in more ways than one.  It was a very intense year of never ending stress.  49 was easier, thank goodness.  I don't know that I would have survived another 48, lol.[/quote]
