As a start to my new blog (which I have been contemplating about creating for a long time, but have been just putting it off), I thought I’d start with something basic, just a small glimpse before the chaos. Cuz life is complicated and difficult and days are long and life can be hard.
I play many different kind of roles in my life and divide myself in many different ways. So I am always trying to find a way to keep everything in my mind as simple as possible and keep my life as simple as possible, which is actually IMPOSSIBLE to do. But I try…
I am an only child. (I like to think this doesn’t really matter in all scopes of things, but I know it actually does. esp when it comes to understanding my kids and how people interact with each other and the roles they play within their interpersonal relationships). Fortunately, my parents raised me to be very independent. And (unfortunately) not spoiled as a child. LOL. Which actually turns into an advantage for me. Often people cannot tell that I’m an only child, so I find that as a compliment. Hahaha. But I am an observer and I love to study and watch people’s behavior and understand how they think and operate on a deeper level. I’ve always been a deep thinker, (I think that’s the Gemini in me). But in life, there is always so much more than what meets the eye…
I am currently a nurse, a bedside nurse, for a tele/cardiac unit. It’s very challenging and hard and tiring and rewarding and emotionally numbing. But I like it most of the time. I have thought of changing careers or positions many times, but honestly the crew I work with is amazing and they make all the craziness worth staying for. But nursing is long tiring hours and I begin to feel it in this aging body.
Another role I play is as Mother. I have 4 children of my own, and 2 step children, (1 of them lives with me). My stepson that lives with me will be 24 yrs old, so technically he should take care of himself. But millennials tend to stay a home longer. Haha. And for now, that’s okay with me. My oldest son, Nathan, is about to turn 21. He is severely autistic. And with him in my life, it has been a struggle, but this struggle almost feels normal. Then there is Justin, 8 yrs old, smart, bright, full of energy. Jordan 6 yrs old, who is also autistic. But the sweetest and adorable and cuddliest of all. Lastly, there is Jazmin, 3 yrs old. With her, I really need to take a breath before I decide on how to describe her. LOL. She is normal (as I roll my eyes). She is a challenge for me. Very cute in so many ways, but with a strong spirit, avid temperament, smart, headache, but definitely sweet at times.
