A little later than expected.

So I started this blog with hopes of updating more frequently than the 3 or 4 months it's taken to actually do so. I've realized I'm a bit more of a procrastinator than I have admitted to myself or others in the past. Well, at least I'm here and attempting to get this going again. All credit goes to my old friend April, however. A married mother of two little ones, step-mother to one and a husband in the military. Whew, if she can find the time to update daily I think I shouldn't have any problem doing the same.
I want to give myself some freedom here though. At first I wanted to post only good things on here but I have never written that way before. I always write to work through emotion or share emotions. In turn, I can usually analyze, process and see positive. So, I'm just going to let it all out, let's say. You will just get what my mind needs to purge and hopefully that will be either enjoyable or positive in some way.
Recently I've been trying to "improve". I'm a big believer in trying each day to be a better me and I usually hit my goals but there are times I feel things get bigger than me for a bit. I want to feel like I'm making an effort to do the things I talk about doing. Speaking on that some more though, I have just recently started to take some initiative and get moving in the right direction. I've been interested in not only opening up a "healthy little coffee shop" down here but also starting some sort of organization that goes into schools to promote "healthy" diets. I got together last Tuesday with a couple of girls I met down here and after mentioning the idea one of them said a group was just starting that was quite similar. It was geared more toward supporting local co-op but that one guy in the group had mentioned his desire to go to the schools. They are having a meeting this Tuesday so I am going to go and hope to get involved or at least get some ideas bouncing around out there as a starting point. After dealing with the issues caused by food in my daughter and seeing it in my friends children as well, I'm a strong supporter for eating healthy. That's not to say I never splurge:) I'm also getting together this Friday with my friend who is wanting to open up her own business. I'm positive we can motivate each other as most of our conversations have left me energized. I've also got two of the best supporters in the world. Scott constantly supports me and makes me feel as though I can do anything and Brooklyn gives me the strength to do so and the desire to want to. They both make this place a very happy home and me one lucky gal.
Well, I guess I will end this rambling blog for tonight. My goal is to be in bed very soon and I can't have this blog be the reason I don't do that. Brooklyn is going to the dentist tomorrow so I will let you know how that goes. Considering all the other medical things we're dealing with I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we'll get a clean bill of healthy teeth!! Also, just a fun side note, Brooklyn sat at the table tonight as we ate our baked chicken and she debated wether chickens pee. Quite hilarious. She has decided that dragons must poo a lot though seeing how they eat so much!!!
And on that, Good night!
