Thanks for that advice Naej. I am going to see how I can get that to fit in, since you are right that it involves childcare, but I do have a neighbor girl who can help.

Thanks BH for the workout encouragement. I am going to try to work out early am and then again in the pm. H has committed to a few days a week in the evening to go to the gym with me and the kids. This would be a new start for us.

Thanks BND for stopping by. I know that you have walked this path, so I value your insight.

I did get up and go jogging today around the neighborhood. It felt great. It was raining slightly, but that's ok, it still felt invigorating. I decided to start a 28 day detox on 4/13. This is after h and my birthday and I so want to give it a try and see what kind of results I get. I am hoping to shed a few pounds and gain more energy.

We were thinking of taking the kids to a park today, but it will probably rain today, so we will see what the afternoon weather brings.

Naej you are right, at the moment I just need to be thankful that I have a job. I don't mind the shift starting on Sunday, since I do save in childcare on Fridays which is one of the reasons I said I don't mind working the shift they needed at my job. It pays the bills for now and I will know where I stand at the end of April on my job status.

Just taking it day by day, step by step.
