She's BAAAAACK!!

LOL! Ok, soooooooo, I didn't keep my promise last time to update when I got back from that wedding...A YEAR AND A HALF AGO!! WOW! Time goes by so fast!
Well, here I am AGAIN, and once AGAIN I'm trying to lose weight and get healthier. But, that's not all I want to blog about, although that will be my primary focus.
I joined Weight Watchers 10/9/10 and as of my last weigh-in (10/22/10) I had lost 5 lbs. But as you know, I struggle a bit and I haven't been doing so great and have been scared to go weigh in haha!!
This time though I have a weight loss partner and we are trying to do this together. Accountability is a GREAT thing! We are going this Saturday for our meeting and weigh in so I will update after that....good or bad!
Life has been good, bad and crazy over the past year and a half and I don't even know where to begin. One highlight I would like to mention is reconnecting with my cousing Laura! We had drifted apart and hadn't gotten together in over TEN years! It has been really great spending time with her and her family and shame on us for waiting so long!
Last school year, Olivia was in K5 and I had decided to homeschool her. We had a good year but VERY stressful and difficult because of the time and attention required to do that. Olivia did AWESOME and exceeded her grade level expectations all year! I am so proud of her!!
This year we continued with that homeschooling program, but about 2 weeks ago I decided I just couldn't do it anymore. With working, homeschooling, ministry, and just life in general, I was about to crash and burn. So, two weeks ago Olivia started public school and has made an AWESOME transition! She's happy and I'm happy that she's happy! I am sad and disappointed that we couldn't continue, but Olivia's best interest is the most important aspect and having a frazzled mommy was NOT in her best interest!!lol
Well, that's all for now. Until next time.....
