Busy, Busy

I realized I haven't written anything in here since Dec. 5! Life gets so darn hectic. I thought once my kids started leaving, it would slow down, but it gets filled up with other stuff. I finished my class, (Analysis of Behavior). I got a B+ in the class and an A in the lab. Yeah! I was so glad to be done. Now I have to figure out which one I'm taking next semester. Slowly and steady wins the race, right? Now if only I could stick to that with my fitness and diet plan. UGH. It's the holidays and food is running me. I was sick, so I couldn't go to the gym for a couple weeks, and with my hubby gone, what do I do?? UM, EAT and eat and eat and eat. When you don't drink, smoke, or do drugs, your drug of choice is food. Just ask anyone who is a Mormon. Food is what we can do. So this week I'm hitting it hard again.
Christmas is in a week. I'm looking forward to having everyone home and enjoying some Christmas spirit together. Today I was lamenting to my daughter about my red car that I am missing. sighhh, it was a beauty. 2010 Chrysler 300, Inferno Red. It was my "mid-life Chrysler." When my husband got a job 200 miles away, we traded it in for a Jetta TDI because of the mileage. It made me so sad... Oh, the problems of a first-world person. So anyways, I was lamenting about missing my car, then I got a wake up call at church. Some people had gone to Cambodia on a mission and they were talking about how workers there make .13/hour and they are all really poor and don't have proper sanitation. Some of the schools there don't have bathrooms, so the kids have to go outside in the field. And I'm complaining about not having a fancy red car.... I am eating humble pie. Our problems are so insignificant compared to other people in the world. We are very spoiled.
