Oh, the heat!!! The a/c is already battling to keep the house cool. I really hate this Texas humid heat. Yesterday I spent a good bit of time trying to darken the windows in an attempt keep the house cooler.

To those who care... :) ...Jim is now a Pvt in the good 'ol US Army. I'll post pictures once I get some. To those who read near Atlanta, we expect to be driving through there for basic training graduation sometime in late August and I'm sure James will want to see his dear cousin. Keep in touch! :)

Positive Self Talk - I saw my therapist last week and we talked about self talk yet again. :) So last night for some reason when I lay down for the night the mental list of all these things that I have and I guess still do blame myself for over the years started going thru my head. I'm realizing more and more how much the self-blame over even the smallest things sometimes is stifling and killing me, the person I was meant to be. I AM much happier now. I'm more fun for my two sweet boys..........Well, I say sweet but Jared is in that journey from 12 to 13 and anyone who knows anything about that age can tell you it isn't always sweet. haha We are having fun, though!
