Happy Birthday to me!!

Hello friends,

Well, today is my 41st birthday!! Boy, do I feel old, especially when my kids keep reminding me that I AM old. My 10-year-old said, "Mom, you can fit 4 of me into you." I HOPE against hope that she is talking about our ages, but I'm afraid that might be true in more than one way!! You know what I mean. Those extra pounds that just don't seem to come off after 40. Where did they come from anyway? They just sorta crept up on me, almost like I picked them up by osmosis (instead of the sweet tea and ice cream). So, I am determined (once again) to "do bettah." I've bought a Leslie Sansone walking dvd in order to work out (no, I haven't used it yet; I've only had it two weeks), and I've been checking books out of the library about healthy eating. One of them was a Mediterranean cookbook, but the recipes look awfully complicated to me, so that one went right back. After all, I only have so much I can work with. I have chosen to start my "doing bettah" on my birthday. Well, I'll start this evening. I just HAD to have a Chickfila biscuit and a large sweet tea for my birthday breakfast. My hubby's taking me out to dinner tonight for my birthday. Hmmmm, I think I'll start tonight AFTER my birthday dinner. Yeah, that's probably soon enough. After all, I'll only have this 41st birthday just this once!!

In other news, I'm planning to go to the Georgia Home Educators Association Homeschooling Conference this weekend at the Georgia International Conference Center. This will be the 11th year in a row that I've been. Could I possibly have been homeschooling that long? Yeah, I guess so; it does feel like it, some days. If you're interested in finding out more about the conference, go to http://ghea.org/ and check it out! Maybe I'll see you there!
