Unfortunately, the bottom line is the bottom line everywhere I've been. In my not for profit work, the bottom line always dictated who got helped and who didn't...the dollars just don't stretch far enough and with this economy, more and more need help. I found it unsettling that some of the employees were "on the bubble" every year waiting to see if the Grant came through which funded or refunded their position for another year. Although that isn't that much different from facing a layoff or downsizing every year in a "for profit" company! I enjoyed NFP work. Much different atmosphere in the office most of the time compared to the atmosphere in corporate. Also, mgmt seemed to be more understanding and flexible without resentment when I needed to take off for family illness/issues/etc. :) A helping atmosphere perhaps? Good luck with your new position. Change sometimes is good just for change's sake, but it sounds like you have reached the end of the road at your old company. Sounds like the kids are doing well. Yay for that! Hope school isn't stressing you out too bad! Big month for you for sure. Unfortunately, the bottom line is the bottom line everywhere I’ve been.

(more than once) I want to have the same type of success. I don't have 100 pounds to lose... more like 20-30, but the important part is that I'm not doing it for vanity reasons, I'm doing it for my health! My family has a history of diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease. I am 27 and I want to take preventative measures. I too, just decided one day that this was it. I saw the scale slowly creeping up over the years and was unphased until one day I decided enough is enough! Now, this new lifestyle is not an option. I don't diet! I also HATE that word!:) I work my butt off in the gym every day! I'm just starting out, but stories like yours are truly inspiring and let me know that this is truly possible! http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bikinidreamer/ Your story literally brought tears to my eyes!

Great news. :) What a good idea to take fun classes this summer. The planning class does sound fun. I took a coarse on "how to study" in college and loved it. :) Nice and easy...

Change is hard. New opportunities around the corner, but old friends and colleagues are hard to let go. Too bad about the GS cookies. I don't buy them anymore. I used to be a Savannah addict. A row at time was a serving of course. Sorry about the merger. Change is hard. New opportunities around the corner, but old friends and colleagues are hard to let go.

You just CAN'T resist them! I would love to take a ficiton writing class. One of the things on my bucket list is to write a book... even if it only sits on my hard drive collecting dust!

Thin Mint cookies!!! Possibly the only thing more addictive than Junior Mints (and Brendan Fraser! But at least he's calorie free! :D ) I log for calorie tracking on TDP and then I just sort of list food on here. TDP helps me stay accountable. I log my exercise in there too. And my daily weight, but that's cause I like to see the graph! All the wrong numbers I get on my cell are in spanish. I took spanish in college, but I only remember enough to ask them where the library is! ARGHHH!!! Thin Mint cookies!!! Possibly the only thing more addictive than Junior Mints (and Brendan Fraser!

As I said, I'm so glad I don't really have to content with that b/c I don't know any girl scouts. :) My next couple of weeks are actually pretty decent other than the usual tae & swimming for the kids.

I have been MIA for a while, so I am totally out of the loop. That is just so convenient for him! Hang in there... I am sure that by now you have had a month to digest and deal with this information. It is unbelievable that he could be so selfish, and inconsiderate as to not tell you in person. Perhaps he will learn to be a better parent through this whole ordeal. (Although...
