It's official...I'm pathetic!!

Ok, so I did it....I went to a movie...by...myself. Yep, alone!! I saw a typical chick flick...and sat all by myself...and cried!!

That's just pathetic!!!

So why am I telling you this?....there is a life lesson here.

For all you mom's with young kids...it's not too late...so listen up.

Do not forget to take care of yourself!! What I mean is this. Before you had kids, you probably had lots of friends and did lots of fun stuff and basically liked to be around people, but probably liked to be by yourself as well. Don't lose sight of that person. Don't get so wrapped up in your kids and doing the mom thing that you forget to be your own person.

See...I did that. I have loved every moment of raising my kids...but my job is almost done. And now....I'm just not sure who I am anymore. And I don't really like being by myself. And I don't really have any friends. Sure, I've got casual acquaintances...other mom's like me. But I don't have anyone that I can just hang with. Well...not exactly true...I've got my daughter. But see, here's the problem. She moved away to have her own life! It was time!! She deserves to have her own life and be her own person, but that sure has left me in a lurch...alone...at the movies....all by myself...crying!!!

See...PATHETIC!!
