I get so exhausted throughout the week with everything going on in the basic daily working of life. How can just being alive be so physically exhausting? My job isn't physically demanding. I sit at a desk all day long pushing papers and typing. Then I go home and only have time to help with dinner (I'm not much help to my lovely husband, but I am there), look through three backpacks, help with homework, night time rituals and tuck ins.
Life passes by so fast. When I was younger I remember older people saying life goes by faster the older you get. I thought that was just them having a case of the crazy...but it feels like that is the case. I don't know what's worse; admiting the old folks were right or that I am now one of them!
I am excited to have a nice weekend with the family. Jake will be with his dad this weekend. Maddy & I will be coloring her hair. Maceo has planned a family sleepover in the living room on Saturday night. William will be running a race on Saturday morning. Sunday will be a small afternoon get together with family to celebrate William's 41st birthday (that was two weeks ago). I love my life I just wish it would slow down to a nice enjoyable pace...

Six Months
Six months ago I wrote a very heartfelt blog that I soon forgot about. Today I remembered that I have this blog that I never use and thought I'd go on, delete whatever was there and start over. When I got here I realized I only had one original post that was six months old. I read it and was floored by what I read.
In the six months since I've written that post, none of the awesome stuff I wrote about my husband and children has changed. They are still awesome, wonderful and amazing. However, I am still overweight. I do alot of talking and thinking about this but not much doing. Not much changing. I was also floored to notice that I had a comment from two months ago.
Myra, a woman I've never met is a friend of another woman I've never met but have read her blog daily for quite some time. Myra's comment touched me in such a way that I decided not to delete my previous post. It was the beginning of my journey to a happier me and a struggle that I hope I can share with whoever would like share it.
