That being said, I am NOT making any new years resolutions this year. Seems too complicated.
However I am making some promises to myself.

I am going to lose weight (yeah yeah I know, me and 99% of the world, but seriously I am) :)

My house will never be any messier than it is at this moment.

I will not complain (or try very hard not to)

There are several topics I have deemed taboo, and am done discussing them. So please take no offense if you ask about one of them, and I smile, nod, and change the subject.

I will call my grandma every week.

I will save money.

I am going to think more and speak less. Ok I will think more before I speak, I am sure I will talk just as much.

I will stop trying to change the things about me that I adore. The things that make me ME.
I know who my true friends are, and they love me for me, and that's pretty awesome. I will focus more on them, and less on the people who don't. I can't change people, and that is ok.

I am going to pray more. A LOT more.

I am planning on running a marathon (actually a half marathon) by years end.

I will appreciate life more, and everything I have been blessed with.

So there ya have it.. Life the way I want to live it :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

How's the 1/2 Marathon training going? Here's a suggestion: try not to do the La Jolla one- the hill at Torrey Pines is a killer :)

Because we are military wives

By -
We spend 4 hours with our husbands in a uniform shop, followed by two hours looking for the right size of boot, because any time together right before a deployment is still time together. We try not to take the little things for granted for they become the biggest things when we don't have them any more. We stand in tears on piers, and are comforted and comfort women we've never met, because we all are feeling the same way. We cringe a little when people say "your so strong" because inside we are dying. We put on a strong face for our kids, so we can dry their tears, and calm their fears, and hide away that we have the same ones. We sleep alone most of the time, we worry, we cry, and we get up the next day and face life head on. We try to smile and brush it off, when people who don't know any better tell us how lucky we are because of all the "benefits."Medical, housing et al.. Not having to pay for a physical really doesn't make up for all the mi...

parental poll

By -
A friend made a comment today that got me thinking. (dangerous I know) So, I was wondering, (if ya'll wouldn't mind chiming in) at what age your kids either did or will do the following activities... ok so survey says..... How old was/ or will you child be when you let them.... play outside with no parental supervision- sleep over at a friend's house - wear make-up - have a bed time later than 7:30 - go on a date - there are no right or wrong answers here, just curious.  Everyone is different and what works for one may not work for another, so no answers will be judged.. I am just wondering where I fall in the averages :)

I have a friend

By -
I have a friend who I am blatantly stealing this blog idea from. She inspires me, even when she doesn't know she's doing it. She balances me, she isn't afraid to tell me I'm being ridiculous, and loves me when I am. I have a friend who makes me laugh always. She's colorful, in personality and language, and has a heart of pure gold when it comes to her friends and family. I have a friend who I like to live vicariously through, the things she does, amazes me. I have a friend who is beautiful inside and out. She shows caring and compassion in times when I am not sure I could.  I have a friend who has been by my side forever, and I know she will always be right there (even when miles separate us) I have a friend who amazes me with her courage. She looked straight into the face of death and said "not gonna happen", she is strong, she is brilliant she is a true survivor. I have a friend  who has shown me how to walk through the tough parts of life.  ...
