Let's Turn this Mother Out!

Why have a blog if I don't use it!  I find myself using Facebook as a blog or even a as Twitter account and nobody wants to read all of that!  Today's inspiration for renewing my dedication to this little blog is accountability!  For those of you who actually have a genuine interest in my life outside of EOY, much will be made available here.  Most importantly, however, the house of EOY is making a life change and I want to share it with any of you who might be interested!  I need you to keep me accountable!  This is NOT a judge-free zone!  If you feel like I'm slacking, read me for FILTH! ;)
I am at the highest number I've EVER weighed in my life!   It's got to stop!  I have WAY too much going for me to let 150 pounds stand in my way!  Yes, I'm ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY pounds overweight!  I don't necessarily want to lose 150 because I can't think of the first thing attractive about bones!  My goals are to sit comfortably in a movie theater, to not have to look for the biggest size in nearly every retail store I shop, to slide into a restaurant booth with plenty of room to spare, and to climb a flight of stairs without feeling like it would be my last flight!  I want to buy new clothes because all of the clothes I own are too big, not the opposite!
My partner and I are embarking on some pretty great changes!  We are fasting from restaurants 6 days out of the week!  There will be NO packages of cookies bought because there will be no beaching on the couch and devouring the whole package!  30 minutes of exercise per day is a MUST!  Fat just isn't ok.  It's not.  I don't care how comfortable you claim to be in your skin.  My body is ANGRY at me!  My heart is at CONSTANT risk for disease!  Fat rolls aren't meant to be shared, whole grain wheat rolls are! :)  
So, you guys are CORDIALLY invited to pester the HELL out of me!  Ask me if I exercised today!  Ask me if I cheated on healthy food choices.  Ask me how many pounds I've lost!  
Maybe you have some difficult choices to make too and need someone to help keep YOU accountable!  Let's team up!  We're gonna DO the damn thing!!

Abracadabra!

To say the past 36 hours have been a whirlwind would be the understatement of the year!  Our licensing worker visited us on Friday for our final walk through, sent our paperwork off yesterday in the morning to the powers that be and POOF two hours later she got word that we're licensed!  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that there is probably a great enough need related to our licensing specifications for age and quantity that it probably won't take long for us to fill up! We were already planning to attend a social last night for Foster Parents and really didn't want to back out of that, as 1.) we could use the support and 2.) I had spent the whole day toiling away on some AMAZING cupcakes that I wasn't about to let go to waist. (see what I did there?) We zipped off to Effingham for the gathering, sat around with many other new foster parents and were VERY grateful for the opportunity to network with others, all the while thinking about everything w...

Today's another very important day for us!  We're expecting a visit from our licensing worker for our final walk through!  It seems there's a pressing need for homes willing to accept kiddos between the ages of 12 and 14 so it wouldn't surprise me if we're opening our doors before Spring even arrives! We're settling in nicely, all of our rooms are set up and "livable", just have to attack the last of the cardboard kingdom! It's so nice to have storage space and not have boxes stored away in every nook and cranny of every room in the house!  The garage and basement are invaluable! While I have a LOT to say about what's going on in the world, I can't possibly formulate thoughts that would take less than 10,000 words to "pen", so I'm just going to keep them to myself and try to pray my frustration away! I know there aren't many of you keeping up with this.. it's amazing how people forget about you all together when yo...

Letting Go...

Dear Diary, It seems it's finally time to leave Louisville and all the pain it's caused for me behind. I know that people probably think I'm just running from my problems, but I'm really trying to start my life over, on my terms, on my feet, and working on NEVER depending on another to take care of me again. People just can't be trusted. I'm sick and that will never change, but I'm just going to have to make a way for myself and pray that this stupid disease doesn't get the best of me. So, at this point next week, unless something miraculous happens, I'll be saying goodbye to Louisville and all it's trappings. I need to center, I need to focus on my relationship, or lack thereof, with my Savior, and I need purpose.
