Absent minded Blogger

I know I know, months without a post, how can I call myself a blogger. But today I resolve to amend that and henceforth not commit the sin again.

So, what is up in our house
we just returned from a 10day vacation to Texas and points along the way
I had fun, but learned that I am starting to grow away from my family.
dont get me wrong. I love my family, but my sisters and I have such different lifestyles and they tend to be a bit judgmental about mine. My mother is one of my best friends, but there is a reason you leave your family and build a new one. I am finding that my family unit, the one I am forming, is such a different organism than the one I grew up in, or the one that my sister is creating.
Chaos and calm can not exist in the same universe. I always thought I was chaos, but as I am getting older, I am finding that was more the influence of my mom, dad and sisters. I prefer calm. I want order. I want plans, I thrive knowing what to do and when and where I am expected to be.
My line lately has been "tell me what you want, when you want it and where I should be". No longer am I happy with the idea of just living life by accident. That is what got us in the house we are not thrilled with, a financial situation that is less than stellar, and me 200lbs overweight.

So while the trip and sight seeing were great, I think I learned much more than historical facts on this vacation.
And I think it will help me make life....just how I like it...
