Holy Crap!!!!

I read through my whole blog tonight.... I think I am in shock with how much I have changed in the last little while. Wow. I... just wow. It's amazing what a little confidence does for you.
~My weight.... Loosing a little bit of weight has definitely lead me to embrace my voluptuousness. I eat fairly healthy, stay active and enjoy chocolate when I want it. I don't feel like I have to comfort myself with food. People love me for me. I definitely feel sexier now, more so than ever before. And I think my assurance in knowing who I am, what I will tolerate and what I need in my life are more grounded and secure. Just wearing my sexy ;)
~My spiritual views are different and a little more stable. I feel piece and Zen with in me. Understand the difference between what I know to be true and what I was told is true. Those are two very different things. I no longer consider myself a Christian, and I am ok with saying that out loud. I still struggle with if I believe in a higher power and what it means if I don't. I've just kind of embraced that whole free spirited hippy chick inside me. Whatever makes you happy.
~Being a Wife...I don't feel like I need Todd like I used to. That probably comes with maturity... While I love him and I feel like we are a great parenting team, I don't feel like I have to have him with me at all times to feel complete. His Xbox is the other 'woman' in his life, my computer is mine. He does his thing, I do mine. I have learned to accept it.
~Being a Mommy...I have relaxed with my kids. I try to support their individual needs, talents and quirks. I don't yell as much as I used to (although I still have my days) and I enjoy them more than ever.
~Politics..... Oooo... Hot topic button for sure and I am sure I will step on someone's toes here. There are several things I feel like I need to say. I am a massive President Obama supporter, as most of you know... However, he has definitely not been as efficient as I had hoped, but I know he had a whole lot on his plate going into office. Here are a few things that are bugging me...The BP oil spill has not been handled with urgency. I don't understand why not. The impact that this will have on our environment is tremendous. And it's freakin' pissing me off. I also think he should be pushing for the repeal of 'Don't ask, don't tell' to be going through congress a little faster. This is bullshit and a ridiculous law in my opinion. I understand why it was put in place, but I think we have evolved and one's sexual orientation never needs to be a question going into the our military. I think he, like every other freakin' President, has coddled Wall Street......In saying this, I know he is not perfect. I never expected him to be. I truly think he is trying to do what he feels is best for the country. I am soooooo tired of the haters that are arrogant enough to call me a sheep when I defend him, but fight a ridiculous fight of 'What I think is right, is right... Your opinion is wrong' and never even try to see another side. I feel like the conservative talking heads, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and freakin' (OMG, I just can't type the real words I am thinking when I say his name) Rush Limbaugh fuel hate and misinformation. I know that the liberal talking heads can be just as bad. I refuse to watch either side of them on TV. And Facebook sucks ass on political days. There is 'copy and paste' bullshit, and seriously little to no research behind it. I am constantly posting snopes links for the accurate information. Good Lord. I am so sick of it all. In ending my lovely ranting and raving here, I think that there is never a right or wrong political belief, it's all a matter of opinion and finding what fits with what you personally believe to be important. Maybe a little more compromise. I don't know. I feel like there is always this never ending battle. I don't ever give up, but there is a time to realize that you will (almost) never change someone's mind when they are politically passionate.
~Whatever makes you happy.
