Change my life
When my husband and I first announced to our family and friends that we were expecting our first child, everyone had something to say about it. We got tons of advice and lots of good lucks. The one thing that every single person said was about how a child would change my life forever. Duh. I think I could have figured that one out on my own. However, I truly did not have the first clue at how much my daughter would change my life. From the moment she entered this world and I saw the tiny face of the little creature who had been kicking me fiercely, I was head over heels in love. I had never loved anything or anyone so deeply, that instantly. She looked up at me, screamed, and then closed her eyes. As much as I was panicking, she penetrated my very soul.
Having my daughter three years ago did indeed change my life. I look at the world completely different now. Things I never took notice to before being a parent are now a top priority. I worry about things that never seemed relevant. I catch myself saying things that my own parents said to me and I swore I would never mutter. I had no idea that being a parent would change my life and my views on almost everything. It has though and I will forever be grateful.
I just turned 30 years old. It hit me very hard even though I know that it is just a number. I don't think that it was necessarily the number that bothered me, it was my position in this world. I simply am not completely where I wanted to be by now. I know, I know - not too many people are. I, however, intend to change my life in some drastic ways before I reach 31 next year. I already have put a plan into motion and am absolutely determined to stick to it. I will change my life in ways that will make my world and my household a happier place to be. I also believe that if I do change my life in the ways that I am hoping to, it will make me a more effective wife and mother. How do I want to change my life? Well, it is time to stop ignoring the credit card debt that has accumulated since my 18th birthday. I have established a way to pay it down and hopefully cut it in half before next year rolls around. I want to see my friends more. I want to spend more time goofing around with my daughter, and I need to do some soul searching to decide whether or not it would be wise for me to change careers. It isn't that I need to change my life drastically, I simply need to adjust some financial and personal struggles. I am hoping that if I change my ways and focus, I can change my life for the better.
