Well, it's February folks.
Not sure how THAT happened so quickly, but it did.
January was the first month in my year of change.
A bit of chaos crept into that month, tiny remnants of 2009.
Reviewing the month...
I changed my life by exercising.
I walked approximately 50 miles.
I rode approximately 30 miles on the bike.
I made healthier eating choices.
My hubby and I moved our company 20 miles so that we are now 5 minutes from our home.
I smiled more - just because.
I began the hunt for a church home again. (haven't had a church home since we moved here 3+ years ago, and I hate it).
And (drumroll please) I finally won the battle of the schools!!!
My little guy has a heart of gold. Seriously he does. I never wanted him to go to a public school. He's too sensitive and they are too big. He went to a private school for preschool and we all loved it. Hubby insisted on public school when we moved here. I fought it, but lost. I have been begging for us to switch pretty much ever since. After experiencing the second extreme bully attack a couple of months ago, hubby has been seeing things my way. Over the weekend we went and looked at the school up the road. Guess what!? EVERYONE loved it. Including the little guy who was not keen on change. He was begging for home-schooling. The principal checked out T's test scores and guaranteed us a spot for 2010-2011 school year. Honestly, I think I almost hugged the guy. LOL. I smiled more that day than I have in years. Even my heart felt lighter.
I began to learn how to do super-couponing. Not sure how much I'll use this, but for certain things I bet it will be worth it.
And I stepped out of the box, out of my comfort zone, and met an old friend whom I haven't seen for at least 15 years at a local club to see a band play. I only stayed for about 30 minutes (I had to be super-mom) but I did it. I went out and got over the anxiety of it all and saw a dear friend.
Change is good and often times necessary. It's just not easy and sometimes requires baby-steps.
I'm baby-stepping my friends!

You should be oh so proud of the great month you had!!! And, as some things start falling into place, others will as well...sounds like the private school situation will take a huge load off of your mind and now that mental energy can go toward something else!!! Congrats, Faye
What an amazing month!! You go girl...love that you are looking at change as positive and so happy for your son, so happy...bully's can be a VERY bad thing for young kids, my neice is going through this as well, she is now home-schooled....
What a great relief about your son's school situation! I'm so happy for you. You just have to help him stick it out for a few more months, right?
Been thinking about you; hope this week is better than last.
