It's Been Awhile

I quit blogging and I don't even know why. I actually love to do it and we should always do what makes us happy, right? I saw the last post was from 2009 and now it is 2012 so I am starting this blog up again. I have many blogs listed that I started and never continued with. Why is that? What makes us start something and then just leave it even though we love to do it? Maybe it is my age and not having as much energy. I am 46 years old and that is by no  means old but I don't have the energy that I had in my 20's. I plan on talking about some very controversial things on this blog, as well as some fun things, recipes, books I've read, etc. I want this blog to be about women and how we feel about things in this crazy world today. It is crazy,  isn't it? My husband is back at work finally after being laid off for 2 years. Things are finally starting to get back to normal around here. It was some hard times but we made it and God had a lot to do with that. Actually, He probably had everything to do with that. Without Him I seriously don't think we would have made it. My husband is back to making the same income he made at his old job and we have wonderful insurance. I've been through quite a lot over the past 3 years since I quit blogging on here, as I know many people have.

My son, who is now 20 years old, went though a time when he thought smoking pot was okay. Smoking pot did nothing but put him in jail 3 different times. The last time he spent the longest time there and something changed in him. He is now working full-time and eating normal again. I actually have my son back. He now tells me that he did much more than smoke pot, and actually took Ecstasy pills. No Crack or Cocaine or any of that stuff but wow what a horrible time in this household during that year. 

My daughter, Jessi, is now 15 and just received her learner's permit. We are driving every afternoon in my quiet neighborhood. I am going to let her practice every single day until I feel she is ready to venture out onto the main roads. She is actually doing very good for someone that has never driven very much. She is doing great in high school and has a 3.7 GPA right now. She is so smart and such a happy child. I could not ask for more. 

Well, I can't catch you guys up on everything all at once. You will get it in bits and pieces at a time. So  here I go on this blog again. Let's see if I can keep it going this time.
