Good morning froggers (freinds and bloggers)! Moose are everywhere in the yard today. I love moose, their floppy ears and gigantic snouts are so adorable. We have a momma and baby sleeping in the front yard and a little female about two years old is in the back. It has been such a cold snowy winter that they are hanging out down the mountain a lot. Hang in there moose, summer is coming I promise. As cute as they are I wouldn't want to tangle with one, especially a momma moose. We keep the pom in the house and under servelience every time he goes out to do his business. Had a snowy owl the night before last. His song was so soul searching at midnight in the quiet of the fallen snow. Had to watch the pom then too, owls love furry little creatures especially in the middle of a winter like we've had. My husband loves to tease about Noah bait.
Other subjects.......menstrual cycles. I can't believe it has taken me 47 years to figure this crap out (technically 35 years). The week before I'm starving all the time and crave carbs and sugar like crazy, then the irritability kicks in about five days out, then on to the joint pain (lower back) and sore breasts......okay you get it. Seriously, is anyone else as rediculous as me that it has taken this long to finally say to myself "Oh, it must be that time of the month, so settle down take an ibuprofen and get on with life."? I'm almost to menapause and I'm pretty sure that's going to be even more fun! Any suggestions?
Last, but not least on my mind today is Bethenny's (remember the book I'm reading?) number one rule "Break the Chain". It's all about childhood and learning what to take with you and what to leave behind to get on with being a great adult and achieving happiness. I've talked to a lot of friends and looked at my own childhood and have pretty much summized that at some point eveyone has had a nasty childhood. Maybe it was just an incident or any entire childhood, but noone escapes the junk. I took my crap and or turned it into a codependent relationship with my high school boyfriend and an eating disorder. I let myself deal with both for way too long. Thank God I got a beautiful healthy daughter out of this and that has made it all worth it. I look at who I was and what I was at that time in my life (15-22 years for the codependent relationship and 14-30 for the eating disorder) and I don't even resemble the same person. Don't waste any more time in the past, leave it there and live in the moment! It's Never Too Late! Have a blessed Saturday.

What did I deal with in childhood that lead me to the unhealthy relationship and an eating disorder? I've thought about this a lot and I believe it is just the order of things. I was born much later than my three siblings, they were all great achievers and very smart, beautiful, articulate. I didn't get to spend any time with them really. I was an only child by third grade. I only remember one family vacation when I could remember spending any time with my whole family and I was an aunt by this time. I really missed my siblings. I missed having a relationship with them and it has affected our relationships now except for my sister. We are best friends 4000 miles apart. In 1975 my parents were older and ready to live their life after children. They started traveling a lot without me when I was in junior high and high school (when I clearly needed them home). I grew up or tried to way too fast, feeding myself and doing laundry and cleaning house blah blah blah. I had lots of free time to get in trouble and keep it a secret and boy did I take advantage of it. It's a God thing that I survived that time in my life. I've come to terms with it and come to realize that my parents truly love me. I'm not going to let any of this keep me from living my life, loving my parents and siblings, and enjoying my children and grandchildren (when I get one). Don't waste any more time with childhood crap. Take what you want, leave what you must. Thanks Bethenny!
