In the beginning...

I know that inspiration comes from many different sources. Tonight I watched "Julia & Julie" and I thought, "I could do that!" Well not exactly. I can't cook. Well I can but not like that...and I would never attempt to do so. And I can't write. Again I can but ... I am not a writer. But I can make a decision to change my life. And I believe that ultimately that is what the main character in the movie (Julie) was trying to do. So I can put myself out there, share my thoughts, actions, and failings in an attempt to change my life. Anonymously! Hey, I never said I was brave.

I have titled this Losing It! because that is what it is. I am sure that I will talk about all the daily rantings of my life that make me pull my hair from my head. I am a single mother of a fabulous 5 year old (Ladybug) who is smart, energetic, and challenging. I am a full time employee of a law firm -- enough said. I have a 40 minute commute. I am looking for a new job. I am trying to move to a different part of the country. I think that now that I am in my 40's it is time to buy my first house. I am contemplating the idea of returning to school in order to get a Master's degree. I want to decrease my debt. And I want to shed a few pounds -- okay a lot more then a few. All the normal things in a person's life that can make them sometimes feel like they are losing their mind. So, if anybody besides myself ends up reading this, I am your normal, average person recording the thoughts that most people are too nice to say out loud.
