Breaking Habits
They say it takes two weeks to break a habit. I hope that's true because I'm gearing myself up to go on a massive habit-breaking run. I know it's probably better to do one thing at a time but for some reason, I've never been able to do things the easy way.
I have started a list and I figure I'll knock them all out at once. Guess we'll see where this goes. I've got a lot of stuff to do over the next few days so on Sunday, my two weeks will begin.
And of course, my list:
1. Break off a negative relationship with a "friend" that has become a bad habit. Yes it's a guy, but I'm so over it, just need to completely break ties. This one will be the hardest.
2. I've gotten in the habit of taking my kids for granted. They are so independent that I forget sometimes that they do still need me whether they like it or not. I need to plan more things to do together as a family. I'm sure they'll love that, ha, I can hear the groans now hehe. This will be a fun one.
3. A simple one ...... maybe. Stop grinding my teeth. Ugh, gives me a headache.
4. Stop worrying about everyone else's problems. I got enough to deal with. I need to take care of me for a while. Selfish, I know, but sometimes you just gotta do it.
I think that's enough for now. Even if I only accomplish half of that, I'll feel pretty good. Well as long as its the right half. Wish me luck, I'll need it!

So what the hell happened??
Simple answer is that I have no freakin' idea! Little things started changing and not all for the good. Then it all just kind of snowballed and before I knew it I was ready to get out of where I was and go back home. Twelve years ago I left the place where I grew up and lived most of my adult life too. I moved to start a new life for my kids and me and that worked out good but they were growing up and wanting to go their own way and I was homesick.
For people like us who love change, we had just been in one place too long. We needed to get out of there and so we did. Long story short, the house is sold and we now live in an awesome apartment near my hometown. I've gotten back with some of my old friends and picked up some of my old attitude and I'm finally starting to feel like me again.
Now don't get me wrong, it was ok where we had been living but it served it's purpose and it was time to move on. My job went the same way. Got tired of being unappreciated for 10 years so I moved on and finally found a good job that I like and has great benefits. Something I never had at my old job.
There's a lot of little things that happened along the way but I'll save some of that for later.
More big news... Sean is home from the army! I never really liked him being in there and now he is home for good! He is married and found a job as soon as he got back, which was only a few weeks ago. So glad he is home!
Brooke is graduated from high school last year and she will start college this coming fall. She took a year off after high school but is ready to go back to school. That was a seemingly never ending drama that I will talk about later also.....some of it is really pretty funny stuff. She's a little crazy, hehehe.
Kellen is doing good, getting back into public school. He's already made a pack of friends here and I can't keep him at home anymore. When he is home, his friends are with him eating all my food! lol I don't mind, that's just what boys do I guess.
OK, that's enough for now. I have to take pictures of everybody and the apartment...I love it! We have been decorating and I still have a lot to do but it has such great potential. It really is a neat old place and has just as much room as a house.... two floors and big rooms. Wait til you see the living room...so cool.
Off to get started writing some letters. Have a great night!

Wow... surprised this was still here
Logged on to see if my blog was still on here. Yay, I'm glad it survived. Just finished reading my old posts. I miss blogging and letter writing. Miss my friends who I only had contact with through these chanels. Sad that I've lost touch with them.
Lots has happened in my life for the past 18 months. Crazy times that are just now settling down. More about that later. Off to "catch up" on what everyone else has been up to.
