I'm stealing from ROBIN today.
15 years ago...
I was living in Fort Worth, Texas working for attorney Dwain Dent.
Married to my ex…not so very happy.
Taking classes and working on being admitted to nursing school at TCU.
10 years ago...
I was living in Midwest City, Oklahoma. I had just separated from my ex.
Anxious, but feeling freer than I had in a long time.
Not understanding why a friend of 20+ years would choose to side with your ex over you about your impending divorce. I vaguely remember a conversation about going to hell.
Working as a floor nurse at OU Medical Center (Presbyterian Tower) since graduating from nursing school at OU in May 95.
Hannah banana was 3yrs old.
5 years ago...
Living in Moore, Oklahoma with my wonderful husband David of 3yrs, Hannah 8yrs old, and our not quite 1yr old, Caleb Marc.
Happier than I had ever been in my life.
Working at Midwest City Medical Center since Oct 98 in the ER.
Decided that we should adopt Lizbe/Bee.
3 years ago...
Still living in Moore, Oklahoma and working at Midwest City Medical Center.
All above still applies, except the kiddos getting older.
1 year ago...
Just moved to AZ from Sumter, SC (shudder).
Still happily married to David.
Hadn’t worked in 7months and determined to change that. Applying for my AZ nursing license.
Hannah going back & forth between here and OK for 9week interval visits with her dad. Hating that!
Yesterday...
I got off work at 7:15am, came home, ate breakfast and hit the hay.
Got up about 4:30pm…went “oh my gosh!”
Had my butt glued to the computer, as usual.
Trying like hell to stick to my Jenny Craig diet and getting discouraged at the scale NOT moving (at least very much).
Watched Lord of War with my hubby.
Today...
Thinking that Jenny Craig may NOT be for me, looking at the Atkins web site that worked for me last year when I lost 12lbs only to have gained 8 of it back since we moved to AZ.
Took a nap & missed my Jenny Craig appointment.
Ate a Chili’s hamburger minus the bun and had a side salad.
Glued my butt to the computer, as usual.
Kissed my wonderful husband and Caleb. Called Hannah and told her I can’t wait until she comes home next week.
Tomorrow...
I will sleep in some and then go to work the 7pm shift, hoping to make a difference.
I will try and have the ambition and dedication to exercise.
I will thank God for the wonderful family he has blessed me with, and pray for those less fortunate.

Amen to that! (the last comment). So, forget my last comment about you seeing Hannah soon because you will!
Doesn't it such when we get older its harder to drop the weight and maintain the weight? I wonder if you need to "kick it up a notch" with your exercise and if that will get the scale moving in the right downward direction?
I can't remember, why was Sumter, SC a bad experience?
betty
I love this entry, because I got to know a lot more about you, and also because I know what you mean about feeling blessed with a wonderful family. That IS a blessing, and one that everyone doesn't have (but happily, I do).
I wanted to thank you, too, for stopping by and saying hello again. I'm remiss, myself, in keeping up with my journal reading since moving over to blogger. I've added Feedblitz, though, so if you like, you can enter an e-mail address where you'll receive alerts when I post something new.
It's good to be back in touch.
