Okay so... I am hopping back on a diet for a while. It's called the Keto diet and it is a sugar free low carb high fat diet. I've done it before with great results but fell off and with no exercise regimen or self control I gained the weight back. Right now I want …
Switching jobs, doing a little dating and celebrating anniversaries… been busy.
Work... I found out about two months ago that my job was going to be moving me to another position. It was a semi lateral move due to a change the company is going through but according to everyone I work with this was going to be the best move for me. My nerves were …

Stopping by to say hi
It's been quite a while since I've written anything but as always... here I am. So much has changed so much remains the same. Both boys are in football. B2 is turning four and BJ has started 2nd grade. I'm working for a company that doesn't stress me out. And outside of the normal day …
Another milestone.
Today was the first day of football practice for this season. BJ moved up to tackle and this year B2 took the field for flag. Both boys are now in football. B2 is one of the youngest on the team but the coach said he did better than a lot of kids who start at …
Smiling
It seems I do most of my deepest thinking at work (I'm not sure why that is). But I seem to sit here while typing and my mind will wander off to how I'm feeling and what I'm thinking at the moment. And today... I realized that I'm actually feeling okay. Not in the manic, …
Peace of mind
I was at the gym (see yesterday's healthier me post) changing into my work out clothes when one of the lady's who works in the kids club comes running in frantic. BJ had been running and playing (as kids do) and ran into a sharp edge of a window divider. He was going to need …
Creating New Habits
Self Care... and Self Love. Somewhere within the past month or so these two things became HUGE. I was talking to my best friend about her recent weight loss journey and the conversation steered in my direction and I told her "I don't want to focus on my weight or how I look anymore... it's …
Mother’s Day… a rambling post LOL.
Mother's Day was last weekend... and down the rabbit hole I went. I'm not sure when I'll ever get to a family holiday and not miss Byron, not think about what should have been... I should have had breakfast cooked for me and spent the day irritated that Byron went to work even though it …
VICTORY
There are FOURTEEN days left of this school year. FOURTEEN. And I can not wait until it's over. This school year has been rough from start to finish. I've questioned my parenting I've worried... I've stressed... I've prayed... and ultimately blamed myself for the problems of this year. First grade was a milestone of some …
We prayed
Last night for the first time I had both of the boys get down on their knees and say their prayers with next to me. We pray nightly at bed time. Our ritual is that first they pray (now I lay me down to sleep...) and then I take it home. I pray over them …
