I was away for a while because I've had some major family stuff going on. My sister was hurt by a man, my bff was hurt by a man (I won't go into the kinds of hurt on here, but let's just say they NEED your prayers) and the GOOD NEWS is my Son moved back home this past weekend!!!

Travis decided to come home after not getting along with his Father. He was there 9 months total and they moved twice and were about to move again and Travis just wanted to come home and be with me and his friends and family here. His Dad isn't being very understanding, but what else is new. I raised Travis alone and on my own for 15 years. I hated to let him go, but I had to let him try living with his Dad so there would be no regrets and no animosity. I just wish his Dad could be more mature and not so damn selfish. But, whatever. I'm gonna shut up about all THAT....

Annnnyyyyywwwaaaayyyyy, Travis's first day of school was today and he's already been put on the baseball team - even after missing try outs which is GREAT news! He's my little (5 ft, 10 inches tall - LOL) ball player. I CAN'T WAIT til Spring for BASEBALL!

BUT, right now I'm enjoying this cooler weather we are having here in Houston. I'M SO READY for fall time with festivals, pumpkins, birthdays (many friends and family in October), Halloween and Thanksgiving!

It's been 4 WEEKS today since I've had a DR.PEPPER and I'm still going strong. I'm still finding any way I can to burn calories, so it'll be even better with Travis here to route me on. He's always supportive and pushing me to be healthy and exercise. He should be my trainer or coach or something. haha!

Have a great week, y'all!!!
