I would like to thank.....

I love Post Secret - some of these people speak for me!

I am excited to report I have passed my teaching certification testing! YIPPEE!!!

Everyone told me not to worry, but I did anyway. I was afraid that though the test seemed easy, it must have been more difficult than I thought and I would therefore fail. How is that for self confidence? Sometimes I make too much of things!

I'm taking a women's self defense class and I made my best friend attend with me. I'm sore as the dickens from the work out and she is too -- sorry to admit this made me feel better as she works out all the time and is fit as a fiddle. I'm currently feeling like a blob. I am grateful she loved the class and is gaining skills to protect herself. Currently the police must stand by when she does custodial exchanges with the soon to be ex husband. How sad is it that he can't put his children first? I feel so sorry for her and the kids! He has been violating the PPO. I hope he is held accountable.

My Hubby didn't get the call last week.

The friend who works for the company he interviewed with said it is because they are so short handed at present. I hope this is right....

Waiting is still so difficult.

I was thinking how much easier it is to be patient now vs. when I was my children's ages (they are turning 11 and 12). Somehow life's bumps and bruises have made me so much stronger. I would not wish any of my childhood teasing on my kids, but I must admit it made me stronger. I guess struggles make you who you are. We will get through these difficult employment and financial times. I'm just so grateful for health for my family and friends. If you have health you have everything. Now to get back to losing weight! I wish I could figure out my recent rapid weight gain. Getting old isn't reason enough!!! (Yes, I will be 40 this year!).

Back to staring at the phone and trying to come up with an exercise program when I can't afford the gym. Self motivation is hard to find when it comes to working out and eating healthy. Why is it so much cheaper to NOT take care of myself?

I will take baby steps.
