Fall Resolutions

Instead of waiting for the new year, I'm making some resolutions for the next few months. Here are my top 5 things to work on this fall:

1. Eat healthier
2. Lose 10 pounds
3. Clear out the basement
4. Organize all my papers
5. Finish my novel

Today I found a great site to help me eat healthier. I want to cut down on refined sugar in my diet, and this site is easy to understand and has helpful lists:

I'm going shopping today and will try to buy some of the low-carb veggies and fruits they suggest. I'm also going to buy some vitamin and mineral supplements that help digestion--especially vitamin E and C.

If you know a helpful site or book for nutritious eating, please let me know.

Feeling Lonely

My two youngest headed back to college this weekend, leaving me, my husband, and oldest son home alone. Though they weren't around much, preferring the excitement of going places with their friends to vegging with mom, I'm really going to miss having them "home."

The old saying goes "Home is where your heart is," so I guess my heart is here, and in Terre Haute and Bloomington. Being a mom is a huge blessing, but it also means a lot of stress--especially when the family is spread all over the state. Thank goodness for text messaging...
