Starting fresh

Things are looking much better today, for a few reasons.

Hub and I sat down and talked. Like a lot of couples, we sometimes get so caught up in the day to day, we fail to take the time to sit down and really talk. Even though we let things go longer than we should, we do make time and really talk about things honestly. That's not easy for either of us though. :-)

So, things are looking much better. We're having some issues with the boy putting the effort into school that he should be, so we've had to tighten up the screws a little bit and get more strict about how much time he needs to spend studying. He's not happy, but he didn't freak out either when we set down the new rules.

I spent the weekend going way overboard foodwise. I've also sat down some stricter rules for myself about my diet and exercise. I think part of my unhappiness is that I have not been really taking care of myself the way I should so I feel guilty and not up to par physically either. But I have a plan to work on that.

I guess this weekend was about mapping out strategies for dealing with issues on many fronts. That's not always easy, but its necessary.

Just wanted everyone to know that I'm okay. I come here to vent & let off steam, and then I pick myself up & keep going. Anyway, feeling a lot more positive today.

Take care you guys!
