Another personal reminder of what i did, and why YOU can do it too (if you really want to)...

Posted Oct 28 2009 11:01pm
I wanted to come back and write a little bit more. I guess you can say that I have some extra time while those extra stength tylenol are still in my system.:)

You know. I really believe that many of you reading my blog, even today are looking for change. Want change and desire it. Whatever that change might be. Or maybe perhaps you just enjoy coming around because you have made changes and you just like hearing what my life is about after I did what I did.

I also think the reason why I have so many returning readers most probably is because I usually tell it like it is. I was never one to shy away from the truth because of how that would make me look as a person, or would even consider or care about how my honesty would perhaps bring me down as a person in front of others who would be considered perhaps "better off" or "well to do". My attitude was always this is me, these are my writings if you like them fine and if you dont...thats ok too.

I want you all to remember one thing. That "I" am like most of you reading. I am a mother, of 3 young children under the age of 6. I have a husband who works day/nights so that we can basically pay those monthly bills, so I am pretty much on my own every single day until about 11:15 at night. We don't have alot of extra money like some people. We don't live high class. We are just an average working class kind of family.


Most of you probably know..as a mother your job never ends. Those children that you brought into this world depend on YOU to keep them going. SO.... sick or not, you have laundry that needs to be done, you have breakfast and lunches AND dinners that need to be made...you have baths that have be given..and many times you need to do these things despite feeling sick yourself or that you just dont "feel" like doing them. It would be nice if we could all afford to have a helper come in..but sadly thats NOT always the case.

And in the midst of all this going on, you also tend to put YOUR needs and wants off to the side because of everything else going on. As mothers and wives, things WE crave and want..or even wish for...just end up being tossed aside because we feel that the other stuff at the time is more important and that our OWN personal wishes can wait.

But the truth is, it is just AS important that we make ourselves happy by doing what makes us happy on a individual level. To come down from that "being a mother and wife" level....to do what we want and need to do as a person as well.
"What would I like to achieve for MYSELF for my own wellbeing"?


We all need goals that we should be reaching for, whatever they may be, which CAN change as time moves on as well. But these goals keep us going. Keep us alive. WE are more than just mothers and wives, we are people just like the rest. And as people we always should be striving to become better. To try and achieve ones own happiness from all ends.

I dont really have a job that I like to really boast about. I mean I work as a housekeeper.
I remember going on local television at times when making monthly appearances, or even being featured in the paper as a front story...and you know...even though that happened...when done...I was always back to cleaning toilets. Within an hour after the program aired usually. LOL

But we all do what we have to do, in order to make things work. Do I wish I had something better...sure. Perhaps in the future I will. But right now, we need that extra money.

Perhaps this is why so many women related to my personal story and still find it nice to come and visit me here sometimes. Because I basically think I represent most of us as mothers, wives...and as someone in a general sense.

I am someone who did accomplish something that most might find unbeleivable..but yet..did it. TO show everyone that we can do ANYTHING if we want to..(what I did was just 1 example of what we can do and achieve)

Sometimes however I wish we could as a whole be appreciated a little more than what we are for what we do everyday. Even by those who say they love us and are closest to us. Take my husband for example...I mean sometimes I dont think he quite gets it. I mean he gets ready to go to work, from the time he opens his eyes...everything is there. You know what I mean?

All he has to worry about is, taking his shower, getting dressed..getting his lunch ready, having his breakfast...and off he goes right?? Im sure many of the men can relate to that..or this sounds somewhat firmiliar to those wives reading.

But what they dont get...is that the clothes didnt just magically appear there nicely cleaned, smelling fresh and folded. Or that the bathroom is always well stocked, with all the bars of soap they need, toilet paper or the shampoo..or even down to the actual towels.

What about breakfast...funny how there is always the fresh milk in the morning and all the things they take for granted that they love to eat. Maybe they think that the "fairy of foods" brought them all that stuff. LOL

It really is amazing how we do so many things like this...and keep things up and going..without really thinking about it...not only them the people who get to enjoy it being there and done..but even ourselves!!

SO we should be appreciated sometimes a little more than what we are. Its all these little things like the examples I gave, that sometimes we tend to oversee because of our busy lives.

In ending, if we can accomplish all this and MORE....dont ever think that you cannot accomplish "anything else" in life...for its in your hands to do!!

Anyways....thats enough writing for today.:-))
