So I am at the crossroad in my life....really don't know which way to go. Too old to be wild and free; too young to be over the hill.....OOOh Kenny Chesney....your words STING! Seems as if this really relates lately to the concept of turning fabulous. I am supposed to be at the prime of my life and settled, but truth be told I am anything BUT! I feel young and carefree as well as unsettled and unrested.....I feel this wanderlust in my system but also have the Sirens of my life (read here my kids) calling me to crash into the rocks!
I want to be fabulous and flirty...carefree and wild....BUT I have to be the responsible one. I have to be the one who gets the kids in bed, makes dinner and cleans up, makes sure the kids wash all parts and pieces of themselves.....I am the official laundry doer, dish washer, chef, snack provider, butt wiper, q tip swiper, maid, and yet somehow I am supposed to feel FABULOUS after doing all of this as well as working full time as a teacher?
This life in the fabulous lane is not what I signed up for. I didn't ask to be all those things....I asked to toss my head back in carefree laughter while sipping (or chugging) wonderful fruity drinks with umbrellas....I asked to dance in the rain and get lost on some romantic drive to no where. I asked to go on some wonderful tropical vacation where the locals ask to braid my hair and my biggest concern is making sure I don't burn in the tropical sun.....
Life in the Fabulous Lane is more like life in the HOLY CRAP Get me OUT of this LANE!
