When I was a child I wanted to be an attorney, a famous writer, and the first female president. Yeah, I was *that* kid,lol. Now, at almost 25... I still want to be some semblance of all those things: a criminal prosecutor who later writes true crime novels in order to pay for her presidential campaign. I'd like to think I can do all of those but with a six figure student loan debt looming ahead I damn well better be successful at something! Currently I live in Podunkville, KY but have grand hopes of uprooting my family to a town with a museum,decent city park, and actual mall to shop at. Speaking of family, mine is pretty strange for these parts; (where women pop kids out left and right and without thinking about it...) it consists of myself, the husband (occasionally) four dogs, and two psycho kitties. Our pets are all very spoiled and treated as our children. This is probably why we can't afford to have kids, but I like to believe that I just enjoy being able to lock them in their room and leave the house...something people don't look upon too fondly when you do it to kids! Another contributing factor to the child free lifestyle is my wonderful job as a nanny that allows me to experience the *joys* of parenting 10 hrs a day and still be able to sleep at night. Through this job I've met and made friends with some people whom I'd never thought I'd have identified with (SAHMs) and gained a new respect for these amazing women. Seriously, going to work in an office is easy; talking to a two year old all day long,every day, about THE SAME DAMN THING OVER AND OVER is haaaard! Don't believe me? Find your local drunk and spend a day with them; this is the life of a mother of a toddler. Although I am fairly anti-social, I find myself using facebook to set up playdates with these moms under the guise of our kids getting together simply because I crave adult conversation. Although it's always crazy at my house,it's a fairly lonely existence that leaves me alone with my own thoughts a lot. Those who know me well know how dangerous that can be! I'm your stereotypical type A personality; neurotic, anxiety ridden, perfectionist, inability to relax, impatient, competitive, aggressive, and general psycho bitch. Luckily, I'm medicated or I would have overthrown the government by now. Or been shot by someone tired of dealing with my level of crazy....
