I don't have time for a long post. But I do have numerous thoughts. I would post them on my blog, but I think I like it here better!
I have been SOOO stressed and busy in the last few months that I haven't really posted. So I look like the total beginner here with no posts. Kinda irks me, so here I am posting something. I've been around for 6 or 7 years so I better get postin'.
Put my older son back in high school for some morning classes. There was too much stress here in the mornings and it was effecting the schooling of my 7 year old dd. Total downshift in expectations, academics, etc but I've become a better, more patient, less stressed mommy. And that is good. For example, he came home with an assignment to read an adaptation of an O Henry short story. He has already read the original last year, do we really need to adapt that story anyway, and the adaptation was a comic book. A real comic book. *sigh*
My daughter got 1st place all-around for her age group and level, in her gymnastics competition a couple weeks ago! I'm so proud of her!
I've lost a total of 91.4 pounds since I've started loosing in September of 2006. I have about 10 to go. I feel good, look good, and eat good!
The economy is bothering me too. I live in an expensive area, although you wouldn't think of Maine that way, I guess. Everything is up and we drive 40 minutes each way to gymnastics, church, youth group, and doctors. Gymnastics is 10 hours a week so you can imagine!!! We are really scaling back on everything...we already had! And my hubby seems to be getting paid less and less. Not sure how to make it without me going to work.
Thats all for now. I have to get ready for the kids piano recital! Then off to gymnastics for 4 hours!
I feel better now that I've updated you all. Like you were waiting for it, right????
