Happy 50th Birthday Kim! This is the year for 50. I turned 50 this year too and so have several of my friends. I remember when it was the year for 18, 21, 30, & 40. I think 30 was harder than 50. I had 4 kids at 30 including a newborn. Life was stressful, no money, carpooling, PTA, house needed so much work, husband working 24/7, the car always broke down, the checks bounced, and someone was screaming MOM all the time. I was young then, but didn't know it. I can't remember much about those days, because I was so busy, I didn't save any brain cells for memory. When I look at the pictures, then I remember. The kids were so cute then and they liked us too. I was thinner, but thought I was fat then. Oh boy I wish I was that fat now. We had fun in spite of it all. We always took the kids on vacation despite the stress and expense of it all. When we had moments of peace and quite, we really appreciated it. We always thought, 'someday this will be a memory and we can't wait'. Well it happens faster than you think. All of a sudden the age fairy shows up and puts a big 50 under your pillow. It's time to slow down that clock now and enjoy the 50's, remember the good things and live in the moment.Saturday, August 4, 2007

MILF
I surrender, have to do the weight loss thing again! I was doing great, lost about 25 lbs from Nov to Feb, then I fell off the wagon. I guess put back about 10 lbs. Oh I hate myself, no don't think that way, ok I won't. I keep promising myself that tomorrow I will get back on my diet, quit smoking, exercise, floss my teeth 2 x a day, exfoliate, get my teeth whitened, cut back on drinking, be nice to people, be grateful, and stop to smell the roses. But noooooo, every day it's the same old thing. The vicious cycle starts, get up, have coffee, read paper, smoke, read paper, eat, smoke, bitch out someone, drink, smoke, sleep, maybe floss and do some sewing, and on.
So, today I joined MILF, I still don't know what that stands for, but I love reading Mom-O-matic and she is doing it, so I will too.
I am waiting for Theresa http://treestimes.wordpress.com/ to get back from Chicago so we can do this together. We plan to go bike riding and limit our intakes together. Wish me luck
