When I was in high school I would have never guessed that I would be married for 17 years and have 5 kids that I take care of on a daily basis. I would have told you that I was going to be successful and making hundreds of thousands of dollars by using my creative skills to write or creative design.
I am thirty-seven years old and never get to do the things I love, like write, fish, sail, travel or can barely find time to read the books I like. Life sort of creped up on me while I was not looking, or it distracted me to make decisions that would put me where I am now.
Now I am not saying that I don't love my children, or that I am miserable because I do love them very much, and I am am not quite miserable yet, but I am getting there. I just want some time to myself to be able to get my book done, go to the beach or even have some time to even think without noise and chaos. I need some down time, and I don't know if I will ever get it.
The question is, what do I do, how do I change it. What can I do to enjoy the things I love, without destroying everything that I am already a part of?
