A New Year, A New Plan..

I'm new to this blogging thing.  I don't pretend to be a "writer," but I do enjoy expressing myself through writing..
I just don't usually do so publicly.

Should anyone subscribe to this blog, anyone who doesn't personally know me.. I am a 31 year old mother of three.  I was raised in a small Kansas town, "found myself" during college in the Windy City, traveled back home and married my first love.  I have been struggling with my temper, my weight, my parenting skills, my motivation.  I quite firmly believe that "it takes a village" doesn't just apply to raising a family, but also to my own personal growth.  I'd like to say I don't really care what others think of me... but then I'd be lying.  I suppose it's not such a bad thing to worry about what others think - It does make me think twice about some things.  It makes me hide certain things also though.  I am a perfectionist to a fault (which unfortunately means that some things are just never done.. either because I won't be able to finish completely or because I won't be able to finish it "right"), and I constantly second guess myself in everything.  I'm also sensitive to a fault.. I take way too many things very personally (and then get mad at myself for doing so..).  Tears fall all to easily, and the hurt tends to take a while to heal.

So, "Plan B" is my way to hold myself accountable.  I'm planning to lay it all out here: the good, the bad, the ugly.  This is me, unfiltered.  Well, filtered, but real.
