This year I decided to make some big changes in my life. I turned 40 in December and I decided I did not like the way I became. I feel like I lost myself somewhere back in time. I got married and had two children, which I truly think are wonderful. I fell in the rut of loosing myself and just became Katie's mom or Joey's mom. I don't seem to do much of anything just for me.
I work only 4 days a week for a special ed. preschool progam. I received my W2 the other day, and became very depressed. I have to take out our family's health insurance through my paycheck and I found that I paid out $1,500 more dollars out in insurance than I actually brought home. Well I really didn't bring all of the other home, I also take out 2 small retirement plans, and a life insurance policy.. My bring home pay is pretty pethetic. But, I married a non-union carpendar. That should expain everything. But, for 4 and a half years I was working two jobs so I could afford day care for my son. Yea, it's been fun. I have a feeling I may have to return to a second job by this summer. But it would be nice to have a career change. One nice new job that will have benefits and some cash to bring home. But that's just a dream. I have many dreams. I think most of my writing will be about my dreams. I want this to be focused on me.
