Meme Coming At Ya.
So, The Girl from the Ghetto, my new blogging pal, tagged me to do this meme. I will try my damndest to be interesting in these six questions if not in general.
1. I wish I had finished school and had a degree in something, anything. My work is actually fine and interesting enough but at 33 years old, I wish I felt more fulfilled from my day to day work. I just feel unproductive, even when I am actually producing great things in my role. I feel it is the lack of importance that I am hung up on.
2. If I wasn’t currently living in Michigan and my home would sell, I would be out of here in a Detroit Minute! I adore my house! I just have a strong desire to get the heck outta dodge! I would like to venture to the South and raise my kids in a place where the pace is slower and the scenery less cluttered.
3. I fear the day my babies are grown and leave me. I can’t imagine what my life would consist of if it wasn’t for caring for them. This issue is one that I see as unhealthy. I have been making an honest effort lately to push them to be more independent. I just need to figure out what I will do for me when I quit focusing so much of myself on them.
4. I am obsessive compulsive and borderline paranoid. My disorder is mainly fixed upon germ-a-phobia! (Please stay away from me if you are sick. The Greek Goddess actually teases me because I refuse to share food & drinks with my own offspring.) This does go deeper still; I check the locks on my doors a few times before heading to bed. I refuse to sleep with windows open in my home for fear someone will cut the screen, climb in, and abduct one of my children. Irrational and silly? Yes. However, I just can not stop myself!
5. I believe you can have two conflicting thoughts at the same time and be equally devoted to them both. In the same breath you can hate broccoli but also love broccoli. In the same thought you can thank God for all your blessings and also wonder if he does exist. I truly believe this to be true and I, myself experience this phenomenon on a daily basis.
6. I am proud of myself! This is not to be boastful or arrogant, but I am great! In six years I have raised two babies (1 & 3), started a career that pays the bills, bought a home and made all the payments on my own, gotten more education to help further me in said career path, and pretty much started a whole new life. I often refer to the years prior to the past six as “my previous life” because that is how I see them. I had a previous life where I had to depend on someone who was not good to me or for me. In the past six years, on my own, I have built a better, happier, healthier life for me and my children and I am proud or myself for that!
Here are the rules: 1) Link back to the person who tagged you (that= me!). 2) Post the rules on your blog. 3) Write six things about yourself. 4) Tag six people at the end of your post by posting links to their blog sites. 5) Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their site. 6) And let your tagger know when your entry is up.
