Thought I would blog since so many people are asking about April, just to let you all know, she has moved to anew apartment, so she is no longer living with her husband, and yes they are definitely getting divorced. I know I shouldn't and her husband keeps telling me I shouldn't feel responsible for her, and I really don't but you can't help but think sometimes, whose kids are these. I mean she wasn't raised like this and she really knows better, but she keeps making bad decisions. I hope someday she sits back and thinks about all she has done and learns something from all of this.
Everything else is going pretty good, I am waitng for March 22nd to get here. I will be of to sunny Cabo San Lucas. I can't wait, I need a vacation badly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am really looking forward to this. I hope to really relax and destress while we are gone.
Michelle is doing some what better. There are still times, when as erik puts it I really would like to drop her. Not really!!!! I know it is hard to gte bsck into the swing of things, but I only have so much patience. I know when God was handing that out I must have gotten out of line.
I know things will get better and if this is all that is wrong in my life, I think I have it pretty good.

Have a great day everyone

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but there is so much to deal with that time just seems to get away from me. I have taken to walking in the mornings 4 times a week and that is a real stress reliever. It also gets me out of the house, which is totally crazy. I know we prayed to have our soldier back home everyday she was gone, but now that she is home things are sure different. We knew that she would be different and boy is she, you can't hardly say anything to her without her snapping at you. I hope this will improve with time, but I don't know how much more we can take. I think maybe it is time for her to move out on her own. I think she was used to doing whatever she wanted whenever she wanted and sometimes you just can't so that in a house with other people to consider. I also really thought that the millitary would have taught her some kind of discipline but that seems to have fallen by the wayside in favor of sheer laziness and lack of any type of motivation. The good news is she is finally working and that is a God send. She only lays around the house now until she goes to work. I hope her chu was kept alot cleaner than her room, I think she could actually grow something in all the piles she has developed in there. I know this sounds pretty petty, but I hope this comes to an end soon. I only hope I am not the only one dealing with this from their children coming back form deployment.

I have about 10 pounds to go reach my goal for vacation. I think that is obtainable before we leave. I am so looking forward to vacation. Hurry up March 22nd.

Have a good day

Hope everyone is having a good New Year. This year is stacking up to be kind of stressful. Two of the girls had auto accidents in the same week, tried to get away with the hubby but, I really hate cell phones, they make it so you are accessible 24/7 and the kids really take advantage of that. No one was hurt in either of the accidents, thank God.
I have started a new exercise regimen and boy does that take a lot of energy. I lost 80 punds last year but, I thought I would just get in better shape and take off the last 20 or so pounds I have left to lose. Especially before we go to Mexico at the end of March. I think that is obtainable. Especially since I will probably go walking with 2 friends of mine 4 times a week and we walk 4 miles each time, plus I also ride the stationary bike everyday. I have continued to watch what I eat. Work, Work, Work.
I will let you know my progress as I go along.

Have a good day
