So, life ain't perfect.  I'M not perfect.  However, I think things are better than they were.  Tara is in Kindergarten this year (holy moly!) and V is in preschool two mornings a week.  That's exciting, plus I take V to the rec center the other three mornings a week giving me an hour or two of kid free time five days a week.  The hubby takes the kids to his parents on Sundays (so he can watch football via RedZone since we don't have cable) so that's some solo time too.  This helps my sanity a TON.  I'm still doing a little searching regarding some identity outside of "Mommy", but that will take time.  I think I'll really find that out when both kids are in school full time.  I want to write, and I want to be a firefighter, but for different reasons, both are incredibly intimidating endeavors.  The firefighter aspiration will take a LOT of work as well given that I'm currently overweight, need to train to jog and gain strength, and have...
