Hello once again!!

Wow, it has been such a long time since I last posted here!  Jeez, I cannot believe that my baby is going to be 10 this year! It has been a very interesting and crazy road these last 9 years.  I will as quickly as possible catch you up.  We now live in Texas, (woo hoo!! No more cold winters....well, at least not ones that last an eternity), and I am an ESL teacher.  Elijah is in 4th Grade and doing well in school.  He is also a pretty good soccer player.  Now if someone would have told me nine years ago that I would be a soccer mom, I would've called you insane, and told you that there is NO WAY that I would be spending 90% of my time taking my son to and from soccer practice and soccer games. Yet, here I am, spending 90% of my time taking my son to and from soccer practice and soccer games!  I love it though. 

I still LOVE all things Disney and was able to fulfill one of my dreams of going to Disneyland a couple of years ago.  It was EVERYTHING I had dreamed it would be, and I am looking forward to going back.  I tend to sway more towards Disney World when planning my Disney vacations, but I would be happy either place!  I also went to Universal Studios in Orlando last year, and although most of the rides made me sick, I did LOVE Harry Potter part of the park.  I would go back again JUST for that part. 

Elijah, like I said is now 9, he will turn 10 in April, and has really started to grow.  He LOVES all things sharks, and loves to fish with Grandpa, or as he calls him, Dad.  He plays soccer, and is a wonderful defender.  I love to watch him play, he really gives it all he's got.  So a little back ground on him, he has ADHD, Muscular Dystrophy, Asthma, Allegies, and Mild Autism.  So, at times we face challenges, but he is an AMAZING boy. I wouldn't trade him for the world.  I try to encourage him to keep pushing himself to not let anything get in his way, and he has actually done amazing things.  At times we get frustrated with each other, but we also know that no matter how mad or aggravated we get, we both love each other no matter what!

Now, to the main reason I have decided to start blogging again.  I want to share my struggles and just chronicle this year, the great and wonderful 2018!  I am extremely overweight, have HORRIBLE food allergies as well as environmental allergies, I struggle with PCOS, and also with working and being a "single" mom to Elijah.  At times it is VERY overwhelming.  My plan is just to write about my struggles, victories, funny moments.  Maybe someone who is going through similar things can either help me out with some suggestions as to what worked for them, or just know that they are not alone.  I am looking forward to this year, and I can't wait to share it with all of you.
