Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate; our greatest fear is that we are powerful beyond me

About Me

I am 33 years old and I am a mother of 3 cool kids and wife to an awesome man! I'm embarking on a journey to find myself, cultivate new interests and basically create a new life for me outside of being a wife and mom. For so long I've put everyone elses needs above my own - I've never taken the time for "just me". I think that has to change - my oldest starts high school this year (I was just there!!) and my youngest will be in the 5th grade (almost middle school). I'm not real sure of what I want to do but I know I need a change! I'm not complaining about my family - I love them all very much and I would do anything for them - BUT - I know that I need to do for me and the kids aren't TOTALLY dependent anymore so it's okay to venture back out into the world - right? travel layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com

What 80's Metal Band are you? (with pics)

Motely Crue
Motley Crue. Poofy hair, make-up, spandex and leather, you are the typical 80's band. Those who hear your music know not to be fooled by the image. Despite all the show, you rock.

My Interests

Trying to develop some.....3 kids at a young age kind of squashed any interests I had when I was younger.

I'd like to meet:

old friends that I haven't been in contact with in ages! New people who can become old friends!

Music:

Runs the gamut......ical to Hard Rock (especially the 80's hair bands - shhhh!), Christian to Country, Alternative to.......

Movies:

I love movies - the list would be too long!

Television:

Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Scrubs, Boston Legal and any Real World/Road Rules Challenges I'm ashamed to say (I've given up watching the regular Real World)

Books:

Ashes In The Wind is my all-time favorite, The Janet Evanovich (Stephanie Plum) series - I've read so many books in my lifetime I wouldn't be able to list them and it's hard to pick just one or two. Although since I've gotten older I have a really hard time sitting and reading anymore!

Heroes:

Anybody who has been dealt a raw hand and has risen above it!

Feeling Old

Okay - so last night my daughter (15) asked me if I could help her fix her hair this morning because it's decade day at school (Homecoming week) and she wants to go as if she's from the 80's........

Okay.........

I know I just posted a blog about running constantly so I'm going to somewhat contradict myself with this post.  My oldest daughter has been in Virginia Beach with my parents since weekend before...

Can we stop and take a breather?!  Constantly going, going, going......we never did that when I was growing up!  Why do we have to pack so much into a day/week/month?  Plus, I live in t...

Do you ever hear a song and get transported back in time?  That happened to me the other day and it gave me a "stomachache" remembering where I was when that song was big (high school) and all my...
