I am a chocoholic and my name is Kim

No really. I am not kidding. I may need help. I have actually gone out of my way to make sure that I can buy or have chocolate in the house. I don't really hide it but may or may not strategically place it somewhere that other people would have to ask for it. My kids don't like chocolate. I don't understand, but they don't. Rich might have some but probably knows it's best to steer clear of my chocolate stash much like a lion guarding it's prey. I am not proud of it. Just think that it might be some sort of 12-step process to admitting it. It's all I have right now friends.

Ever had a period of your life when you want just about everything to be different? Nothing is in sync. I have to believe that it must be me if every part of my life feels that way. Maybe this is the "midlife crisis" thing people speak of. I don't want my husband  to be different and could not love my kids any more than I do so don't start any rumors, please. It's just about every other area of my life that I could use a nip and tuck. I want answers and I want them now (said in a Veruca Salt voice) but that's not happening. I am sure God is tapping me on the shoulder and trying desperately to get my attention but I can't feel it. I have read some articles that this isn't totally uncommon for this stage of my life. I do find some comfort in that. I would welcome some advice, feedback or just plain old straight talk on this subject. What's a 48 year old girl who is using chocolate to fill some unexplainable void in her life to do?

Gun'r on the other hand doesn't have a care in the world.
