Get Healthy 2008!
My sister and her husband have been able to earn gift certificates though Virgin Health Miles (through their work) over the last year. All they had to do was exercise more to get them! This year they are offering the same program for their friends and family. Bill and I decided to join up. I am hoping that it’ll help us to lose a little weight and get a little healthier. There will be no more sitting in a zero gravity recliners anymore. We have to get out and exercise. There is no better motivator than money 
What I wish he’d understand . . .
Bill is an expert on all thing electric (you know, on things like ceiling lighting), but he doesn’t understand the blogging thing. It just irritates me that he doesn’t listen to what I am saying. He doesn’t understand paid links, contextual links, google pagerank, alexa rank, etc. When I told him that I average 200 visitors a day (give or take), he got all upset that 200 people he doesn’t know are reading about our lives. (If I would have thought quick enough, I should have said that he should be proud that 200 people a day care about our lives). I questioned putting my kids pictures on here. I did a ton of thought on it. However, the purpose of this blog originally was to keep my friends and family in Green Bay in the loop to what is going on in our lives. At this point, I don’t know if I could even extract all of that information off of here. It is what makes this blog tick. He doesn’t get that none of you (unless I ask) are going to show up on our doorstep. My question goes out to you — how to you explain blogging to people? How do you explain the hows and the whys?

Back
We are back from Green Bay. I feel refreshed. I also need to clarify some things I have said previously on here. My hubby is a pain in the butt for not going to my support group with me, but I understand why he does not want to do. Also, I didn’t clarify very well when I said I feel misunderstood. What I meant was that some of my friends and family ignore the situation and pretend like it didn’t happen. What I wrote did not come out that way.
I am in a place now that I think I may be able to move on. I had one of my sister’s friends congratulate me on my pregnancy and I didn’t completely fall apart. I explained what happened and then she felt bad. I had another one of my friends ask when we were having another baby. And I think I handled that well too. It’s hard. It sucks. But I am slowly but surely moving on.
