Wow...been a year!

I can't believe it has been over a year since I last posted. A lot has happened. I am back to working full time and still trying to juggle the schedules of 3 teenagers. Add to that the girls' boyfriends that I try to support at their sporting events and it is hectice. Last night two of the kids told me they had state contests today. I asked the older one if she needed money for lunch and she said no, that she wasn't leaving until after noon....so I then asked the younger one why he needed lunch money and he said they were leaving in the morning....the daughter will be late coming home, the son on time from school....I'm glad they told me but I don't think I will remember by tonight. Add to that the piano lessons that I have tonight and who knows when everyone will be home....I think bed check at 10 pm is appropriate tonight.

Sunday the pastor gave us a challenge to wake up every morning, look in the mirror and say out loud "This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!" I thought, OK, I can do that....

Monday...I woke up...said it....went to work. When I got home my husband informed me that he was moving to the camper for a while. (we have been having some problems). I'm still trying to stay glad here and rejoice! OK then!

Tuesday...I woke up....said it....went to work. When I got home I found out we have no money in the account and there is a bill due....we have a softball game to go to and the husband is still in the camper....Rejoice! I think He is tempering the steel....I have now reached chapter 2 of the book "The Purpose Driven Life".....Rejoice....I am not an accident, the Lord made me.

Next

I am sitting here looking back and realize that my life is half over and I am not sure where I am going. I just read a post that said something to the effect that everyone can change their habits, but some are just not ready. I had to ask myself, "Am I ready?"

I have been trying to lose weight for years and I do lose it only to find it and more again!! I have been on the yo yo dieting treadmill for so many years and I know that is not the way to go. I have to be willing to change to get better. I keep telling myself that I will do it tomorrow, but that day never comes. It needs to be TODAY!!

Where to Start

I started looking back over my life in the last few months and have realized that I am not anywhere near where I thought I would be. I remember in High School I wanted to be a Veterinarian and now I am a stay at home mom and part time EMT-I. Someone asked me the other day what happened to cause me to devert from my original plans and the response was...."She got married"
