Where Does The Time Go?

Just yesterday it was Jan. 1 and I was promising to write more, right? Oh wait....it's March?!? Well crap.

Blogging has certainly taken a back stage to living life these days. Much has happened which has brought me to my knees and made me really think about what I am doing with my life. I was so tired about writing about divorce and growing pains, etc. but really....that is just where I am in life these days.  Let me bring you up to speed....

I lost my job in the beginning of December. It sucks. Good news is I have done some consulting work as well as some subbing to help make ends meet. Also? Thank god for my parents.  They probably thank their lucky stars every day they only had one child because in the last 5 years I have cost them as much as multiple children.

Along with the bad you have to find the good right? In January, I THREW myself into working out. I maybe went a little overboard and was working out like 2 hours a day but I just needed to focus on something. It has been amazing for me as well as my ass. I have lost almost 25 lbs and I am pretty sure I could kick someones ass with my new arms. I love feeling strong!

How is LG you wonder? She is amazing as always. She just had her 7th birthday and I love the bond that we have. She is my sidekick. I am always so excited for the weekends she goes to her dad's so that I can have a break but by Sunday morning I can't wait for her to get home. I am not certain about many things in life, but I am absolutely certain I was meant to be this girls mom. She teaches me more about life every day.

LG is obsessed with dancing right now and she does it morning, noon and night. Sadly, she has to fit school in there as well. She really likes school and it doing great. I love to hear what she is learning about and the amount of random facts she comes home with astounds me.

Life sounds great, right? Truth be told....it is pretty great. Sure there are moments I wish things were different but I know in time all will fall into place. Right?!?

A Single Mom on Mother's Day

Mother's Day as a single mom looks a little different. There is no partner to take the kids out shopping for gifts or remind the kids to make something for mommy. There is a chance that on the weekend of Mother's Day you won't even have your child, you will have to ask if she can come home early to spend the afternoon with you. Mother's Day will be church in the morning alone surrounded by other mothers holding tightly to their children beaming with pride. You may feel slightly sorry for yourself but as you see other mother's you realize how incredibly lucky you are to be in their company and that there are many women who will never be called "mom." You count down the seconds until your daughter gets home as you do every weekend she is gone. You can't wait to hear about her weekend and snuggle on the couch soaking in every ounce of her smiles and love. You will even be thrilled to hear her father's girlfriend taught her to tie her shoes because...

The Big Cleanse

Image
Tomorrow I am embarking on a cleanse. It all started when Cristie and Amy banded together to get Amy healthier. I wanted in on the fun so Cristie and I talked about it, but then life happened and we never really connected. I started getting healthy on my own and things were going great. They still are but I have hit a little bit of a plateau now that I am back working. Last week Cristie told met that she was going to do a 2 week cleanse with some people, including Amy and did I want to join in? I jumped at the chance. Here I am on the day before the cleanse starts and I am FREAKING OUT! First, I am cutting out caffeine. I like to think that I am not addicted to my morning cup of coffee (or 2) but I am sure that I am. This one is going to be tough. I am not looking forward to it. Coffee has become a comfort for me in the morning so taking that away will be hard. I am going to replace coffee with some yum tea and hope that I can get comfort from that. Second, eating healthy is ...

Stress Is a Crazy Thing

I have learned over the past week how crazy stress can make you. I broke out in hives on my legs last week, mainly behind my knees. It has progressively gotten work. I am itching like a crazy person and nothing is really helping. I can tell you that the more stress I deal with the worse they get.  For example, the horrible, mean text that I got from the ex that was intended to go to his girlfriend about me? Yeah, within hours my entire legs were covered with them. Another good one.....worry about going to the Dr. since my insurance hasn't kicked in yet made my back break out in them.  Fun times I tell you! It has been fun to listen to all the advice people have given me..... Take an oatmeal bath! Did that....made the hives 20 times worse! Take Benadryl twice a day! Currently doing that which is helping but makes me walk around like a zombie. Put wet towels in the freezer and then put on the itch! This works when I am home but for the 10+ hours I am out of the house...
