Finding myself...

Devin wrote something that inspired me...so I'm going to take on the task of finding Mandie again. 17 months ago, I became "mommy"...and being Mandie has suffered. I am now mommy, employee, wife, chauffeur, cook, personal assistant, appointment maker, money payer, etc.

But somewhere in all of that, Mandie has to fit too. I have to seperate myself from all of those other titles and remember that I am still a person, and that I still have wants and needs too. I am not just someone' s mom or wife or employee...I am still a woman and I still have things that I want to accomplish. Places I want to go. Things I want to do. and emotions I want to feel. I'd be lying if I said since D was born, well actually, since I was pregnant, that my sex life has flourished. B/C it hasn't. It's been rough, and a chore, and not one I enjoy. I have to find my passion and my sexuality again. My marriage is great, minus this one HUGE issue..and I can fix this, and I'm going to!
