I need to do some major life changes.  My life is so stressful right now and I'm tired of living this way.  Granted, I'd be crazy to not be stressed considering all that has gone on in the last 3 months:  During the summer we traveled from  Michigan to Mississippi, back up to Michigan, then to Kentucky.  We then packed up our entire house and moved to Michigan. 

When we arrived in Michigan, we were living in a 700sqf. duplex that was nice enough, but not nearly big enough.  But the main problem was that the landlord was totally unresponsive.  We decided to move and our dream house opened up!  We love our new house, so that is great!

Anyway, Kai and Autumn got lice.  That equaled 7 loads of laundry/day for too many days to count, vacuuming, picking nits....dreams of lice chasing me.

Before we left Kentucky, Kai contracted lyme disease.  He had to be treated for that.

And all through this time my dad, who is an active addict, has been missing.  He has hep C, diabetes, and cirrhosis of the liver.  It's been stressful wondering where he is/how he is/if he's even alive.

During all of this I've also had to deal with fibromyalgia and hypothyroidism.  Plus dh started a new job and has a book under contract that is supposed to be done by February!

Anyway, we're here and I think we're actually settling down.  This is a great town and we already have great friends.  It's pretty amazing.  We love our house.  Autumn's school is wonderful.  It's time to start living instead of reacting.

I will post my goals later.  I know what I need to do to get there.  So the first 3 steps that I need to do:

1-Go to bed by 11:00 EVERY night!  Not 2am!

2-Start the diet the doctor prescribed to help w/fibromyalgia.

3-Line up babysitting to give myself much needed time.
