While things have been rough in the last couple of months there are a few moments that have left wonderful memories for our household. My beautiful Kid celebrated her 11th birthday and she graduated from elementary school. OH LORD! Middle school is breathing down my neck as we speak and I am terrified. The Kid's elementary was such a wonderful experience for both of us. The Kid is such a loving soul that I won't lie when I say that Middle school scares me for her. I know she will do fine but bare with me and my worries.

As far as the bad stuff my car has decided to have issues one after another costing me what little money I have and then some.I sometimes wish I lived in an area again that had true public transportation just so I would only have stress of paying for my commute and delays.
My job is jeopardy due to things beyond my control. The place I work in was forced to merge with another a few years ago which was not something most wanted. We all had our opinions about what would happen but we dealt with it. Now the closing of one of the facilities is going to happen and be turned back to one campus. MAJOR MONEY has been lost but mostly RESPECT from the community we serve. Either way a building will be closed we just don't know which one yet. There is a plan but regardless of it and the outcome people will be losing their jobs. I am doing my best to stay positive because if I dwell on the unknown I will be a wreck.So now the wait.....
On the positive side, the Kid is healing great from her surgery no real issues. The Doc is amazed at her progress and even gave her the OK to start running again. Still a no go on jumping. So no trampolines in her future which is OK with me for now.
Her thyroid seems to be back on track as well. She is taking 75 mcgs of her medicine. There was a few weeks that I thought maybe the dosage was too high because she was all over the place. Singing all the time,talking a mile a minute just an overall bundle of energy. I was seriously losing my insanity. So when we had to get her blood tested again I was hopeful that it would show that her medicine needed to be adjusted HA! no such luck. The Endocrinologist said all looked good....UGH for me. I will say though her behavior has seemed to level out or I have just learned to go with it but either way both of us are doing OK. The Kid is now an inch and half (if not more) taller and about 10 pounds lighter.
Personally I just feel like I have been in a funk.My mood just stinks. I always make myself available to my friends to vent too. Even though I know that they would do the same I never ever do. I think that does not help when I keep everything bottled up. I need to just allow myself to be vulnerable and know my friends are there for me as much as I am for them.
Other issues with my mood is my weight. I have never been a small girl...except maybe when I was 5. During my pregnancy I gained a lot of weight ,and kept adding to it as the years have gone by. It is time for me to do something about it,not just complain or ignore the obvious. I need to be healthy for not only me but my daughter.
I think weight loss will help over all with my mood. I know that I have other things to tackle as well in my personal life but one step at a time.
I hope August is a month of fresh,positive starts for all who need it !
