4. That marriage is hard (that part I already knew), but there is help out there and it’s worth the hard work!
5. That I am too stressed out and need to lighten up.
6. That I cannot control everyone and everything around me and that’s ok.
7. That my body is changing, not in a good way, and that I cannot continue to eat like I have, dang it.
8. That I still have a lot to learn about life and a lot of growing to do.

I sure won't be reading some of those books HA HA. Good job.
Ah Carly, you are too hard on yourself. Your a great mom, friend, wife, sister, aunt, neighbor, girl scout leader, PTA lady, student, soon to be nurse. In fact you are AWESOME and I loved this post! Keep smiling and doing what you do, and then look back at all the amazing things you do each day and give yourself a high five! We all have learned so much from being in your circle of life.
Carly,
I think you are a wonderful gal. I also think that you are too hard on yourself. Keep doing what your doing because you are doing something right. You are a great mom, Wife and friend.
