Hey,
  So I just had my whole post almost done and somehow I erased it. My computer tends to skip all over the place,. Maybe I am touching the bar, cause it is in my lap, but it is annoying. Anyway, today is the first day of 365 Days To A New Me! I thought of doing something dramatic like sky diving or volunteering 2 years in the Peace Corps, but I stopped myself! SO I am a mom to teenage boys and a teacher of English Language Learners,. I adore both jobs, (okay I don;t LOVE the teen years), and   I can say I am pretty good at both...okay I think I am a great teacher. And I think I am a great mom in that I support my kids dreams, I create memories for them, and I am always able to say I am sorry for anything I have done that hurt them. But, and this is a big BUT, I am not a great housekeeper, I am the queen of procrastination, and I tend to hide my head in the sand. I also do not take very good care of myself. I am overweight, and often make crummy choices around food and  exercise. So this blog is about making some small effort to create a better me....one who cares about myself and my environment. So I am not looking to lose weight, though that would be nice, I am making sure I do something each day and see what it brings me.
   So in the spirit of change I did two healthy things today....I made some fruit salad for dinner for the boys and I and I made summer oatmeal for the next two mornings. FOr those of you wondering what summer oatmeal is, it is oatmeal, milk, yougurt and fruit, mixed together in a  mason jar, and then refrigerated. It creates this really yummy grapenut pudding-like yummy breakfast. And HEALTHY. I found it on pinterest...my favorite place. I will try to post a picture, though I am not really tech savvy about blogging...
    Until tomorrow my friends (or myself cause I doubt I will have many people reading this..)

Okay, here is my attempt at posting a picture.

  2. Thanks, Heather. I went to your blog but it appears to not be up at this point. Glad you liked the oatmeal idea. It really is delish. I just wish I knew how to link to my pinterest site, but I will figure it out. Good luck on your journey. Visit often.
