Tonight is a new chapter in our families lives. I have decided that we are going to do things differently.
We are in the middle of what feels like quick sand. I love my family with all my heart, but we can't seem to get it right. It is not a fun place to be when we are home. There is a lot of yelling and crying and mumbling under the breath, etc. The picture is pretty dismal right now.
This is not what I had in mind when Chris and I started out 15 (now 17) years ago. Who imagines a life where all you do is play catch up with everything, you are overweight, the house is not ever clean, and you can't seem to figure out the money.
Tonight is a wake up call for me and the need for change. It all seems so overwhelming to start but the need is great and we have to change if we want to survive and thrive as a family.
So where to start, Chris and I will sit down with the girls and figure out what makes us a family. What are the important things to us that no matter what is going on we will always stand by. So sort of like a family creed. What makes us the Akey Family and not any other family? I truly believe if we can start here we will move in the right direction.
Thus begins our journey to happy! I know it will not be easy or smooth but it is necessary. Here's to us and what we can become as a family!
UPDATE: Things are still the same but worse! We are going to make a change! If you are the praying kind please keep our process in your prayers!
