I couldn’t live without my contact lenses, my books and my bed. Though I do enjoy my mobile and my computer a lot I could actually live without them. I survived without them before.

When I had my first child in 1992 this is what made me grow the most. I have learned so much from having children. It was no longer about what I wanted or needed but thinking of them first, what they need and want. I’m hungry? So what, that’ll wait this little person is hungry and is screamingly telling me how hungry they are. I’m tired, it’s 2 a.m.? So what this little person is hungry and needs soothing after eating, my sleep will wait. It is a humbling experience and great privilege to be a parent to my children along with my husband. To suddenly be thrust into a role where you are completely responsible for everything for this newborn child. You are responsible for keeping them alive. I’m tearing up just thinking about it. I do miss this time in their lives.
Do you believe in fate/destiny?
Tough one to answer. I do believe my life has a purpose.
Do you enjoy your job?
Yes, as a stay at home parent I have many jobs that I enjoy the majority of the time.

While I certainly enjoy my children as adults and teenagers I miss them being babies and toddlers. At the time I was experiencing the chaos and neediness of young children and babies it seemed like it would last forever. Now it seems as though those days were gone in a blink.
If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

I can say with confidence I am happy being myself.

My first diy project was when I was 10 years old. I cleared the weeds and shrubs in our yard and then planted a garden doing both things by myself. After I grew spaghetti squash I remember cooking it and thinking how delicious it was. 😋

I have two words I would ban, the n word . I find it highly offensive.
Also the f word, once again I find it highly offensive and think it’s sad how some use it as such a casual word. When I hear it used as such it makes me think of the user as low class.

My biggest challenge in the next six months will be to eat healthier. I am a vegetarian and after injuring myself with a fall during a snowstorm and being in pain while walking I’ve relied on quick and easy meals and take out too often rather than cooking healthier meals for myself a lot of the times. I need to cut way back on this and start preparing the healthier foods I know and love again.
What advice would you give to your teenage self?

It’s okay to be shy. You learn a lot about someone’s personality just by being around them and observing.
Whatever you’re experiencing now it’ll change as you get older and you have more life experience. You’re only a teenager and you still have a lot to experience. Help others when you can but don’t expect anything in return, sometimes not even a thank you. Don’t let this stop you from being nice to others because you’ll never know what all.tbey are going through.
