As a wife and mom you change, and you take on new roles in your life, you become super woman, a doctor, a coach, a referee, a cook, a taxi, a multi tasked octopus so we wish, a maid, and so much more. Don't get me wrong I love being all that, but I just have to ask myself were is me??? When did I lose me?? I have adapted and become everything I am supposed to be but where is what I was? I know in life we grow older, more responsible, life hits ya, But I have decided I don't have to loose a glimpse of what I want for me... To some people this might sound selfish, but to me you only live once so why live with what ifs.. So I decided I am setting goals of things I want to do just for me...... One is I am going back to school and getting my LPN. It is a work in progress.. #2 is I am going to learn how to ride a motorcycle, I think I am getting the hang of it... A wise woman told me it is all right to do something even if it is just for you...
So as a wife and a mother I decided I can be all they need me to be but yet I don't have to loose me in the process..

You go Tina! Am so proud of you going back to school, you've been wanting to do this for so long, and now it's time for you. You can be all things,a wife, mom, and even a biker babe.
You are absolutly right. What you were saying reminds me of a quote I heard at church:
"find some time for yourself to cultivate your gifts and interests. Pick one or two things that you would like to learn or do that will enrich your life, and make time for them. Water cannot be drawn from an empty well, and if you are not setting aside a little time for what replenishes you, you will have less and less to give to others, even to your children."
-Elder M. Russell Ballard
The Lord will help you balance out your life so that you can become the best you can be in many different roles.
Good for you girl. There is so much to offer in life and the more we learn the more we have to offer. I'm glad you're taking time for yourself, by doing so you'll have more to give to others. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress
Well if those words werent just what I needed to hear. Odd timing. I completely understand when you feel like you've lost yourself along the way. Way to go on finding yourself... mind helpin me now? ;-)
