Welcome to my new blog.  It seems that blogging isn't really the thing to do anymore but I'm up here in glorious Montana and thought why not?  So, my name is Alicia, but you can call me Mountain Momma for the time being.  When I move back to my favorite place, the grand state of Texas,  you can call me Big A! 

I decided to start this as I'm quite frankly depressed.  My husband got the luxurious job assignment in Montana and while it is beautiful here it is so different.  I'm going to share things like what's different.  What I like, what I don't like.  The people.  The food.  The clothes.  You name it if it's on my mind I'm sharing it. 

Now I know I will probably have an audience of about 3 people.  My first reader will be my BFF Ashley.  She will chuckle, roll her eyes and say, "Friend, you know no one is going to read this".  To which I'll respond, yes I do.  And then I'll say, you know what sounds good?  WHATABURGER!  My second reader will be my hubs.  Bless his heart he pulled me away from my favorite place and I think he feels bad.  He's a great husband.  He lets me stay home.  He shows up with flowers randomly.  He ain't perfect but he's dang close!  My third reader MIGHT be my sister and BFF Heather.  She will role her eyes and think what in the world is wrong with my sister.  Moving on....

This weekend I got pretty down.  I saw a friend at Costco.  We hugged and she asked how I was doing.  Uggg....am I honest or do I lie.  She is a preachers wife and has always made me feel comfortable to share my feelings.  So I told her I'm not happy.  She said, "Alicia you have to emotionally move here".  CLICK!  Something clicked in me and I knew she was right.  I moved here.  I watched my stuff load on a truck, I sold our house, I bought a new house, we moved into the new house, we decorated, we got comfy.  But I never emotionally let go of my "home".   So I came home and said, I will start a blog and I will share my feelings and maybe that will help. 

So stay tuned.... and welcome to The Adventures of a Misplaced Momma

Life Lately

Well, my idea was initially to write blog post M/W/F.  As you can see, that has not happened.  It appears when I get myself to a better place I don't feel the need to blog.  I need to get better at the blogging thing.  Anywho, a few updates... I made it seven days with no soda.  It was a very difficult seven days.  I found myself at the movie theater pretty close to tears when my boys said they would get Icees so I wouldn't be tempted.  I drank water with the popcorn and I was furious.  I thought about everyone I know who consumes diet soda and thought they are all going to die early too and they aren't freaking out.  The next day I went to church and told my friend, after church I'm getting a diet coke.  Friends.  It was a glorious moment!  Ahhhh.....I give up.  I'm addicted and I'm not up for fighting that addiction too.  We are getting a new store.  I was so excited to see the new place.  To my horror...

Diet Soda will kill you

Oh my word!  I don't know how many times I've read that, been told that, heard it, etc.  It's constantly on my mind.  Probably because in a day I could easily consume 60 plus ounces of Diet Soda.    Eeek! Part of feeling blah about living up here is that I feel like so much of my new life is out of my control.  I can't control my husband's work load, I can't control the snow, the sunshine, the friends I don't make, the cold, if my kids eat the meals I prepare, etc.  What I can control is what I chose to put in my body.  To be quite honest I put a lot of crap in my body.  You can be dumber than a door nail and know that 60 oz. of diet soda is not good for you.  You can also know that choosing to eat gluten when you have Celiac Disease is not smart.  But I've always known better than the doctors/science!  Friday I consumed my last Diet Pepsi. I didn't know it was going to be my last. I didn't savor it I just drank it lik...
