Message in a Bottle

Peace

The last few months have been...hard. FYI: Birth control screws with your hormones and can make you a stark raving lunatic. Yaz did it to me. But they don't tell you that in the commercials. I'm off of that stuff and will never go on BC again.

Right now, everything just seems calmer, more peaceful, in a groove. I had lost about 20 lbs but I've put about 10 back on. I'm working on it. Everything else is just flowing. My and Jerry's relationship is really good. Is it possible to have a better marriage? I don't think so. The boys are growing and doing big things. It seems like bedtime comes way too soon every night. Work is just work, and I'm trying not to let it stress me out too much. I'm helping out with the high school band but I'm definitely not in charge anymore. I've lost some matter of respect, but in return I have gained the ability to drop it at a moment's notice to do whatever I need to do. I feel like I have a freedom that I have never had since I started teaching.

You only get one shot at life. Tkae more time to do those things that you will look back and say, "I'm glad I did that."
