My Journey To Being Happy Again

4 years already?

Well June 30th would have been our 4 year anniversary.
My friends were amazing and lifted my spirits all day long and kept me busy!
People ask "Do you feel like you wasted the past 4 years of your life?"
No, I don't.
I have a beautiful son who means the world to me and I learned so much in the good and bad experiences that came with that marriage.
I have started a new journey and looked at things differently.
Now, instead of it being "well, it would have been 4 years" I'm saying "Wow, it's been 4 years since I got to see these wonderful friends of mine, since I got to focus on me, since I got to really spend time with my family!"
I'm trying to stay positive every step of the way and yes, we have hit a few bumps along the way the past 2 months but were hanging in there!
If y'all pray I'm asking you keep J and I in your prayers for a whole week!
J goes to stay with his Daddy and his family till Monday and at first it was a good thing. I want him to know his daddy and to see him as much as possible seeing were in different states. But unfortunately this is no longer a happy time. His dad has made the decision to no longer follow God, drink, party, curse, see certain females that I won't go into detail about for the sake of their husbands, yeah...you heard me correctly lol. Not a good situation at all.
I'm nervous and disgusted that I have to leave him with him.
Good thing is I will be literally right down the street.
I don't know how J will take to his daddy after 2 months but I'm crossing my fingers things go smoothly.
But one thing I know for sure...his daddy needs my prayers and yours that he gets his life straight soon.

Now on another note: my weight hasn't changed too much because I got sick :/
I did just start on the 30 day jump start book with the biggest loser!!!
Well, kind of haha.
I started the excercises but will start the diet once I return from vacation on Monday.
If you can get this book I suggest it!!!!
I will let you know every week how the process is going!

Frustrated! Help!!

Okay so I have tried to comment on so many of your lovely blogs and it's stressing me out!!!
I write my comment then it says "select account" so I click google account then enter. It goes to the blogger login page and has me login.
It then shows "anonymous wrote: blah blah blah my comment blah blah" then asks me to enter in the security code. So I do...then it goes back to the blogger sign in page. I login AGAIN and it goes back to the comment asking for another security code....
WHY?!?
Lol is anyone else having this happen??
I just want to comment!!!!
Lol.

I tend to sleep in till my son wakes up which ends up being till 10...so from now on I'm waking up at 8 and going running! Gonna start my day early and hope it pays off!
When you really want something you can achieve it!

Words with friends failure!!

Be sure to enter into my GIVEAWAY if you haven't already!!

So just a little funny story...
My aunt and sister introduced me to words w/ friends and they were constantly playing when I was down visiting. My phone won't allow that app so I just ignored it but was still a little curious.
I got on my ipod and found it and started playing!!
I was starring at the screen for about 10 minutes (no joke) trying to find the first word to enter.
fyi...I haven't played scrabble in about 8 years lol.
I couldn't figure out anything!!!!
How do people play this? Am I really just that dumb?
How do you put TL, DW, DL, TW in your words?!?!?!?!?
OHHH!!!! Because you DON'T!!!
Hahahaha yes...I thought you had to put a letter before and after those blocks.
Example: Ket"TL"e
Good thing I clicked on help and found out that those blocks are to help you win and not lose!

BITTERSWEET I'M BACK!!!!

I have been away from blogging for almost 2 months.
I won't be posting but probably once a week...maybe a little more often.
As you can tell my blog pictures are different!?
Well, I took 2 months off because I just went through a divorce.
Don't want to get into too much detail just know that this was the best decision because he didn't want responsibility of us anymore.
So J and I have moved to TEXAS :) and I'm trying my best to make it as a single mom in this couples world.
My blog in the past was about my weightloss and surviving deployments.
Now it will be more of the emotions and situations single mom's go through and me getting back on track with my weightloss. Yes, you heard it...this is the FIRST time I have EVER gained weight due to stress. Normally I lose it...but nope not this time. I gained every bit back :/
I will also have my lovely PL giveaway's every once in awhile and if you remember correctly I said I would have one once I started blogging again.
Soooo....here it is!!
All you have to do is be a follower of mine...not private.
And for an extra entry* leave some advice for either -being a single mom -returning to the civilian world -ideas on how to make my blog better!
Separate comment for each entry!

Ikat Votive Holder Pair!

Will randomly choose a winner on Tuesday night the 28th!

hello goodbye

Just wanted to drop in considering my last post was quite awhile ago.
Things have been extremely crazy here and will continue to be that way for the next month.
So I have decided to stay off the blog until things calm down and then I will catch everyone up.
And what better way to come back than to have a giveaway!?
Yep! That's right...so be expecting a big one from me in about a month!
Who knows, I may end up with something to say before then haha.
Just keep me in your prayers!!
