    Hey everyone! Sorry I've been MIA for a bit. Basically, for the next month there are lots of random things happening to keep life very crazy and busy. I've had multiple birthday parties each week, events I'm planning, and other random school things going on. In the down times I've been trying to slowly bring my house back from the brink of disaster. I've also been battling a cold which has kept me from training consistently this week. But what can you do.
    Highlights from the past week. Hubby found out how to get free counseling for me through his work. My first appointment is next Wednesday. Hubby and I are doing much better, he seems to finally understand some things about our issues and is working on them with me. Basically, he's finally starting to realize how powerful his words can be so he's actually being careful in how he phrases things. He always meant well, but the way he'd say things could be completely off from what he meant. Done with a lot of regular things, but have a lot of other stuff going on instead. Teaching a parenting class next Wednesday, still have three more birthday parties coming up this week, helping to plan out VBS and our kids camp for this year, etc.

    Hope you all are doing well!

    Val very busy lady!

    Today is my moms 88th birthday and my daughter and grandson bringing her up here for visit today until mothers day.

    So i will be busy myself all weekend. I had small red velvet cake made and decorated with blue flowers for her. She likes to go to Mexican on her bday since they always celebrate cinco de mayo.

    Had to use inhaler twice yesterday with the 3 meetings, cough better but still there.

    Hi y'all. Well, sorry to report I'm barely hanging on here. Lots of emotional stuff. I realllllly can't wait for school to start and go find a trainer at the gym to work with. I need a positive distraction. Eating is very bad. I burnt out on avocados and that leaves almost nothing that I feel drawn to eat. I just feel queasy and trembly all the time, too much to eat. Emotions are powerful things.

    Today I took kids to tutor, but that's it. Gloomy weather sprinkled but had very threatening skies. I think it will storm tomorrow, so I'll probably stay home to try to get started on the mess throughout the house left here after DH left. fun. :-/

    Hi. Remember me? I'm sorry I've been so bad about coming here. I'm almost never on my computer at home, it's a pain on the phone, and half the time when I'm at work even when I have time I forget to come in here.

    I'm hanging in there. My weight is ridiculous high and now none of my clothes fit. I've had so many issues with running to begin with (my bad leg has been acting up, I missed 2 weeks of running with a bronchial infection) and the extra 30 pounds I'm carrying with me since the last time I was running this type of mileage sure isn't helping.

    Sounds like we're all struggling. (hugs) to everyone.
