New Year, New Beginnings

Rosemary Duffy, an Evergreen Park mom who recently went back to school, is taking a new course of action. Join her on her journey.

This blog of mine has kind of turned courses. It started with out me talking about being a "student mom" but it seems it is just now well about me in general.

I had to get stuff off my chest about Joe. As for Joe right now, he is doing great. We did have to send a letter home at his school explaining what was going on. We just told people it is not contagious and it does not hurt him, I know I have already said that on here in previous posts but I wanted to reiterate it. Sean is wanting to do the talent show at school this year, he couldn't do it last year. He has also started talking about St. Baldricks already too, and that won't happen for a couple months.

Back to me now, haha.

So now, in the new year, I am changing courses again. I will still be writing about school and the people and things I encounter. But I am going to focus on me, because I haven't actually focused on me as a person in a long time. I have focused on being a mom, a wife, a mortgage professional, a babysitter and whatever else I have come across in the past ten years. I absolutely LOVE being a mom and a wife but this year I am going to focus on loving me too.

I have joined this website called sparkpeople. I am hoping it can direct me to be healthier and stronger (physically and mentally). I want to go on vacation next summer (after winning the lottery of course) and wear the bathing suit I have been so afraid of for the last decade. I know that is a lot to hope for but you have to set a goal somehow right?
