Not sure where to start or what to say to explain my long absence and I don't want to make this into a whine fest because we all have our problems so I'll keep this short and hopefully will get back onboard with my regular blogging.
Life generally hasn't turned out the way I thought and I've been having a hard time dealing with that. Work:  I love my job but have gotten tired of the way things are run and how situations are dealt with at times. Can't really go into the details but I am trying to just do my best and be satisfied for now.
Home: My son and I live with my mom. My mom just had her second pancreatic cancer surgery and has memory problems. It has gotten tougher to deal with and sometimes I want to run away and then I feel guilty for that.
Me:  Starting to go for therapy to put things into perspective.
So next post will be school oriented and the one thing I can promise you....it won't be perfect.

Well, the end of the school year is right around the corner and I haven't been sharing my "creative journey" for some time. Right now I'm in the middle of grading 6th grade projects and trying to go through and organize for next year. I always feel torn between three areas of time....the present, as in grading, end of year activities and meetings, the near future, as in summer break and the future as in the fall. I keep trying to be organized with all the thoughts and ideas that flow through my mind but it doesn't always happen. Thank goodness for pinterest!!
I've decided it is time for a major change in my life and I want to share it with you, partly to help anyone else who is in my situation and to make myself accountable. I have been overweight for a long period of time and am at my heaviest ever. I have lost weight two other times but right now I know that my weight is holding me back from "real" life. So anyone who wants to jump on board I would love to have you join me and the rest of you can keep me on track.
Okay, so my start date is Sunday, June 23. The reason for that date is school will be out and my family vacation will be over. The one is a major stress point for me and the other is food available all the time.
Next up, I will share my first middle school art show.

Feel like this.
