I am what I am

This week I read a blog post by Fat Mum Slim about what makes her "Chantelle". You can read her post here. I have been thinking about it all week, as lately I have been trying to figure out who I am and what I want. So here goes. This is {part of} who I am. 

• I LOVE my boys unconditionally and will do anything for them even though they push me to my limits
• I am extremely impatient. I always have been. If I see something I want, I want it NOW! The same with an idea, if I think I want to do something, I want to do it NOW!
• I am not as confident as people seem to think I am
• I don't like the way I look
• I am precious about keeping my hair long, but I always tie it in a scruffy bun
• I find it hard to say NO to people
• I am always trying to make others happy, but seem to forget about myself
• I LOVE to eat

 

 

• Even though my boys are my life, I find being a Mummy challenging, hard, thankless and exhausting
  
• I shout more than I like
• I am a daydreamer
• I hate confrontation
• I would eat Mexican food everyday if I could
• I am lazy
• I am always homesick for my "home" in America, I miss my friends dreadfully, especially Erin and Leisa
• I wish I were more creative and arty
• I carry guilt and don't find it easy to forgive myself
• I LOVE champagne
• I would love to write a novel, but I don't have any ideas of what to write about or how to even start {pretty bad for a teacher who has to teach story writing as part of Literacy lessons}
• I am addicted to social media;)

I'm sure I am more complex than that short list, but these are the things I could think of this week. I am working on changing some of it, although at 36 I think I am too old to change somethings about myself. I just need to work on accepting who I am, and liking me for me.
