It's been awhile...

I didn't realize how long it had been since I had written in this blog. It's been about a year and a half and alot has changed but at the same time it feels the same. I feel like I am at a turning point in my life right now and want to make some changes.

For one I have belonged and managed a mothers group since 2003 and I think I am about to close that chapter and move on. I am really contemplating but I think it will mean moving on without keeping in touch with almost all of those freinds. I believe that when I found the group and for many years I needed them and was very fortunate to have had a wonderful group of friends during that time in my life but now I just think I think that it's time to close that door and move on in a new direction. I also have another moms group which I can never imagine leaving or moving on, it's just such a differant enviroment and I feel like I can be myself.

I also have realized I am fat. I hate being fat and need to lose the weight. One person told me that you have to hate being fat more than you hate exercising, so I am trying to remember that. Another good one I heard was to eat to live not live to eat.

The family is doing wonderful. The boys are getting so big. I have found that teenagers can be a pain though. I feel lucky to have good kids but I don't always like the back talk that has came with it. I think they are learning that they don't like being grounded.

We have alot of plans to go fishing and camping this summer and we are playing a trip to California in October.
