This blog is not about how unhappy I am in my life, it is not about how miserable growing up was, it is more about finding the person I have become without really trying to be "anything" in particular. This blog is my journey to become the best "me" I can be, the grown-up me that matches the ideal in my head.
I am:
a wife - married for almost 13 years, to my high school sweetheart
a mother - my 3 beautiful children are what I always wanted
a stay at home mom - I always thought I would work but life had different plans
overweight - I have a love affair with food...I love it and it loves to hang around my midsection
bad at keeping house - I hate laundry and washing dishes...and cleaning floors
a little bit of a loner - I have never had a giant group of friends I can't live without
scattered - I want to do a dozen things at once...which leads to the bad at keeping house above
a person who sings in their car - really loud
a person who has a happy dance
a lover of music, movies and reading
a sufferer of chronic migraines
What I want to work on:
loosing weight/being healthy - I hate that half my closet doesn't fit me.
being more organized in my mind and in my life
finding my place in my faith - I was baptized Catholic but that was all. I would like to see if my place is in the Catholic faith or perhaps elsewhere.
I believe that being able to evaluate oneself honestly is important. I don't want to take a passive stance to who I am "growing-up" to be. I want to become the driver in my life, not the passenger.
Overall I am a very happy person. I laugh easily and enjoy my life. The things listed above that I want to work on are the areas of my life that allow the shadow to fall over my sunshine. They are the areas that can give me the blues. For someone not used to having the blues, it is really frustrating.
I probably have more things I will think of that I want to work on, but for now I think 3 areas is a good number.
Here is to the scary first step to finding out about me...my strength, my fears, my sadness and my happiness.
