- A homeschooling mother of one teenager and a little. In 2001, I resigned from my 13 year position as a case manager to homeschool my oldest who was a preschooler at the time, and later a daughter who came along in 2005. This is by far the hardest job I've ever loved. My husband of nearly 20 years supports us as a fire fighter and EMT.

Weight Loss Progress and Other Ramblings
I haven't done well these past few weeks with the diet. I am keeping up with my exercise, but I'm eating more carbs than I should. For some reason, I seem to be feeling really stressed lately. Although I have not been able to pinpoint the source of the stress, I notice that I seem to feel worse when I read the news. And for some strange reason, Facebook makes me feel depressed. I feel vested in some of the relationships I've built there, and I'm not sure how to get off the Facebook merry-go-round. I enjoy interacting with the online world much better via a blog rather than with a small enclosed online group. I've discovered that blogging is my favorite online social networking avenue. Facebook feels like a room with no windows to me. It's a bit stiffling and self absorbing.

I know what you mean. Blogging is social for me. It's easier for me to make friends here. I've never done facebook. Maybe we should try to get out more.

LOL, yes, and I had to change my post to reflect that blogging is my favorite "online" social networking place. I'd much rather make friends in RL, of course. This is the next best thing when you are in that season of life where you find it more difficult to get out - less time for self. Which is fine...I wouldn't have it any other way. This is a season where I am busy raising a family. God willing, I'll have lots of time when I am retired to socialize, travel, and volunteer - get out there.
I have not been doing well with my weight loss either and I have been stressed for a while now. Hopefully, now with my son's wedding over I can get on track and start being more dedicated to losing weight and finding a way to lessen the stress that I feel. I started a Facebook account but never finished it and I am happy that I didn't. At this time, I just don't have the time to put into it. Thanks for sharing. It helps to hear from others who are going through similar situations as yourself.
Blessings,

I'm glad to hear your pov on Facebook. Don't even need to get started with it now...
BTW, I'm not watching the network or cabel news. When I do, I can't sleep and I think I start craving chocolate to soothe the nerves. Not goood with my wieght loss plan.
Yep, I've cut back on the news reading, and haven't been to FB since this post. I feel much more at peace!
Sometimes I need to do something that is grounding, so I'm baking and exploring new recipes. This is very relaxing to me, as long as the kiddos eat up all the baking! LOL, I don't need it.
Doing things with my hands is always grounding...I'll have to think of some more projects. ;)
