Here I am...alone again

I am alone. For the first time in over 31 years I am without critical responsibility for someone else's life. I should clarify that. For the first time in over 31 years I am not responsible to watch over every move of a child, make someone else's meals, do their laundry, clean up after them or even listen to them complain about me--to me of course. I still work full time but now I am free to come home when I want, eat what I want, drive where I want, buy what I want (within the constraints of my budget of course) and do what I want with my spare time. I believe I have always had this kind of freedom, but was so indoctrinated in being a good wife and mother that to take time for myself and be who I wanted to be would have seemed almost sacrilegious. I did go back to school in that last few years, but I ended up going to school full time, working full time and being a full time homemaker and mother so it really was only the choice to go back to school that was mine. I had to take time off to recuperate from school before I finish my degree. I am hoping that this new found freedom gives me time to clarify my thinking about things I have always wanted to have time to really THINK about and write about them in my blog.

How Time Flies When You Have Good Intentions

I was going to post everyday. Here I am one year and several months later posting my second blog. I will post more often now. I will have lots of time.
