I tend to draw a blank here. However, I thought I tell other lj members a little about myself, in case you choose to read. I am 32, a mother of 2, an independent voter, a Wyoming resident (as of next week), and I enjoy blogging. I am passionate about things which directly affect not only me, but many. I am an advocate of children, those in need, and anyone who needs a little hand every now and then (regardless of passing judgment..not my thing). I am a registered nurse by nature, and work my butt of for that title. I WAS NOT born with a silver spoon in my mouth, so I appreciate all that I have, and worked hard for it! I am a nurse because I tend to care too much about others and not enough about myself (I know, not good..but hey, at least I admit it). I am a behavioral health/psychiatric nurse. I have worked in many different capacities, but enjoy treatment facilities the most. Why? I can see someone who desperately wants help come in, work hard to get that help, and leave a different, yet same person. Different in a good way, and same in a good way. Confused? They tend to learn how to keep healthy habits, and to use those that maybe aren't so healthy to direct toward more healthy avenues. I feel I truly make a difference, and have come away with greater knowledge than I could have ever hoped for. My patients' have taught me so much more than I could ever teach them, ever.
I am a Christian, but not a Bible thumper. I respect differences of opinion. I am not holier than thou. I make many mistakes, many! I have learned from them, and am still learning. I believe that God will answer those prayers which are best for me, not the ones I think are best for me (and in his time). I am not very patient.
I don't like self-righteous people, period.
I don't think degrees make knowledge, I believe life does a fine job of teaching on its own.
I believe some just have more opportunities than others do, it's sad to me.
I will help anyone in need out, and am sad that now it is sometimes not safe to do so.
I married young, and have been married for 14 years in February.
I believe God can heal and restore anyone!
I love my children wholeheartedly and believe they are the gift of love from God just for me, they are perfect FOR ME.
I belive anyone, regardless of level of education, financial status, or any other inhibitors can learn and grow.
I don't like being short, it tends not to flatter the hips and butt..lol
I fell in love with that "tall, dark, handsome guy"..he has his issues, and I have mine (God knew what he was doing).
I have made friends which I truly feel blessed for and have learned something from all of them (good or bad).
I believe everything happens for a reason.
Being a mommy does not come with an instruction manual, and regarless of what latest greatest baby supplies, books, articles, or clubs you join: hands on is the greatest teacher. You and me will all make lots of mistakes.
I do have regrets.
I can't stand a know-it-all, period.
I am suprised I have a tongue left, I bite it often.
This is part of me.
