Nothing huge, I&#8217;m trying to be truer to myself on the blog and to feel less stressed both at home and work. Those are easy things to put out there when you&#8217;re at the tail end of a relaxing vacation, but not so easy to put into practice once you get back to the real world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m back at work and, as you can imagine, it&#8217;s not as relaxing as the beach, but I&#8217;m trying. Next week the kids are back to school and I&#8217;m totally dreading it. Sissy will be a senior (sob) this year and J-Man is going to be in 8th grade. I can&#8217;t believe she&#8217;s in her last year of high school!!! She&#8217;s excited about next week and J-Man is decidedly not. It&#8217;s always a big adjustment for him to get back in the swing of things after summer and that can make for some stressful mornings and nights. Don&#8217;t even get me started on the whole homework crap that will be starting up again. Ugh!!<\/p>\n<p>In other news, my mother gave me permission to use the word &#8220;shit&#8221; on m blog.

To be honest, I learned it from her. Until I was about 5 or 6, I thought it was French, because every time she would say it, she would follow up with &#8220;Pardon my French&#8221;. &nbsp;Apparently, it&#8217;s not.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week I wrote about making some changes in my life and on this blog.
