It is weird. I feel different, I really do. When I turned 30 I still felt the way I did in my twenties. Now I am not saying I feel old now that I am 31, but I feel like it is a new me. I am doing things to make myself happy and not just to please other people. I feel just as young as ever (I mean, come on, 31 is not old), but it's like a wave of confidence has FINALLY washed over me. Every once in a while I will admit that I get a little nervous about what decision I should make about school, work, and every day life, but I know if I go with my gut that everything will work out for the best.
Is it weird to say that at 31 I am now feeling comfortable in my own skin? I hope it isn't, because I like where I am at right now.

New Beginnings
It is official. I have decided to go on a diet. I need to shed some pounds and tone up. My vice: mt. dew and gummy bears. Ugh! If I could kick these two little habits I would be golden. So I am gonna start by cutting back. As I learned when I was preggo with my kiddos, if I cut out the Dew all together I get the WORST headaches possible. And I have decided that there will be no more snacks while I am at school. Going to class at night has been hazardous for my waist :) Well, it really hasn't, but I am sure that it hasn't helped. I am one of a few that probably hasn't put on weight since I started, so I guess that is a start.
My goal is to loose at least 15lbs by Dallas' birthday which is the 23rd of May. I am sure that I can do this, I just gotta get my mind wrapped around the idea of working out. I need to put my DVD's to work. I have had Jillian Michaels 30day Shred, Carmen Electra's strip aerobics, and the Flirty Girl fitness tapes for a while. Some of these I have had for years, and they have either never been used, or used a few times. Heck, I stepped on my Wii the other day to do the Wii fitness and it said that it had been 292 days since I had been on it. WOW!! Guess I have been slacking off a little bit.
I figure that since I have been getting rid of some emotional baggage and I have been letting go of some much needed stressors in my life, that now it is time to work on myself and build my self esteem back up. It's nice having people tell you that you are beautiful, but if you don't feel it, then it is sort of an empty complement even thou that is not the intent of the person saying it to you.
So here is to Day 1.... :) Wish me Luck!!

tonselities
Tomorrow is the big day. Dallas has her surgery. We preregistered today, and she was so nervous!! She was so scared of getting blood drawn today. She even screamed before they put the needle in. Once it was in, she looked at us and said "oh that wasn't so bad."
Dallas is so funny. I am so glad that she is FINALLY getting this done. She needs it done. The poor girls tonsils have been huge basically her whole life. I don't know why they weren't removed when she had tubes put in her ears and her adenoids removed when she was two. After tomorrow she will finally be better. No more crying in the night because her throat hurts. Sometimes I can't help but wonder why Dr' s wait so long to take care of things like this. Irregardless, I am just glad that this nightmare will be finally over.

what is the truth?
The truth is different to everyone. Everyone has their own version of it, but ultimately does anyone every really know what the truth is? Everyone perceives things differently. This is what is so great, but also so terrible, about human nature. It's a double edged sword. I may see an accident and see one thing, while you may see something totally different.
Sometimes I write some personal things on my blog. I don't regret writing anything. It is a form of purging. I am able to get things off my chest, and if you read everything you will see that I talk about all kinds of different things. This is just my version of the truth.
A lot of times when I am talking about one thing, I hear from people thinking that I am talking about something different. Perception is everything. For the most part I don't name names, and there is a reason for it. Sometimes in the past on my myspace or even currently on my FB page I have said something and it was taken wrongly by someone. Is that my problem if they perceive that I am talking about them? No it isn't. I was told once by one of my Psych teachers when I approached them and asked them if they were talking about me, that if I assumed that they were specifically talking about me that I was either narcissistic, or I had a guilty conscience. This has always hit home to me. The same as when you assume you make an a$$ out of u and me.
I don't claim to be perfect. I am just me. I have said this before, and I will say it again. I may over speak at times, but I usually have the best intentions. I will not however, sit back and let others slander me as I have been accused of doing. It is simple, my life revolves around no one but my family. I talk about what affects my family. If you don't like what I say, don't read what I write. Plain and simple. If you didn't like watching a show on TV you wouldn't keep watching it. You would turn it off. The same can apply here. :)
Enough rambles for now
