Entering the Blogosphere!

I have made the jump into the blogosphere!  This is something I have been contemplating for some time now.  I call my blog "Getting It All Together" as I have spent this summer making some changes for the better in my life.  I have gone "paleo" with my diet.  I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.  And being fat.  I have dropped 17 (whoohoo!) pounds since I committed to this on May 28 of this year.  And I don't feel sick and tired anymore.  More on that later!  I have de-cluttered and organized my home.  I am very busy during the school year (I teach, have kids, etc) and the house gets neglected.  I have purged closets and girl's rooms and it has felt good!  Now to see if we can keep better control on the mess during the school year...we'll see.   You know what they say about intentions!

I want to use this blog as an accountability tool, and I think my friends get tired of my posts on Facebook.  The blog is more for me than you (whoever is reading it), but I am glad to open up and share my struggles and my successes with anyone who is interested.  Perhaps someone will realize they are not the only ones with the same issues I have and will feel better knowing there are others out there with the same struggles.  Hopefully I can help someone by my pontificating.  I tend to have strong opinions, especially on religion and politics.  Do not get offended, just ignore those posts if you don't agree with me.  Don't put hate comments on my blogs, please.  I tend to be fragile! ;)

I am sure this blog will be sporadic, directly related with how busy life gets at times.  I do think it is important to take time to organize my thoughts and this is my tool I have chosen to do that.  So, here goes!!
