Ohhh…I know that feeling so well. I hate when it gets to the point where it seems like everyone else in the world is perfectly together except for me. The only way through that for me is to take stock. In writing. Figure out what I’m doing that I don’t need to be, what I need to change to get going again. Right now, for me, that means taking a semester off. I’m scared to do it, but I so, so needs to be done if I’m ever going to resemble together again. XOXO Thinking about you…hang in there.

I have one in her senior year and one in kindergarten this year. I have no idea how I’m going to cope.

Yes, we were all talking at work about how “older women” need to exercise at least an hour a day in order to maintain their weight. No WONDER my weight keeps creeping up!!!

Comment on I did it, but will it be worth it? by shaunta

What about freezing the berries you don’t eat? When I have berries frozen, I just put some in a strainer and run a little water over them to defrost, and they’re yummy in cereal in the morning.

I’ve never bought a Cost-co membership for the same reason. Although right now I’m wondering if I could get bulk gluten-free flours there, which would make it worthwhile maybe. (If there was a Costco closer than 250 miles from me.)

I’m not sure that would be my dream. I’ve lived in my house for 16 years now. I’ve been essentially the only one to take care of the house and frankly I’m tired. I’d love to share in this responsibility but I don’t think that will happen. I’m grateful for the security of my own home while raising teh boy but that is coming to an end. Like Lindsey, I don’t need much…. a house is a nice to have, not a need to have and there are responsibilities to it.

I wonder if this is along the lines of greener side of the fence?

Do you have a mortgage? You could pay it down. I have a secret little dream to own a home outright. No mortgage or rent to pay. That just seems like the ultimate freedom to me. You could use what you would be spending on mortgage to travel, and have somewhere that is all yours to come home to. Perfection.

Good question. I really wouldn’t want someone to give me a big chunk of money. I only need enough to live on, pay my bills, maybe go on vacation once in a while. Anything more would be wasted on me…

Mmmm…cabbage soup. Yum!

Those bags are SO easy to make. It took me like 15 minutes to make both. You can do it

Yes. I feel like that a lot. I always have 15 balls in the air. I want to slow down, but it’s so hard to do. Hang in there, hon. Your goals are great!
