So Many Thoughts

It's 12:38am, and I am still up.  I really don't know why as I worked a busy day today, yesterday, the day before, and the day before, and well, the day before.  However, I am still up.  The brain keeps going, and I'm just trying to find out where to place it all.

1) I miss dancing so much!  Once I get some money, I'm thinking I'm going to check out The Bar Method.  It would bring back some ballet in my life, and maybe help me feel a little better about myself.  I do not like how my body is right now, and I know, I just have to get out there and do something.  But that's hard to do alone - when you aren't really sure what you need to do.

2) Oh the self image.  Okay, I know it's something I probably talk about a lot, but it effects me just that much.  I don't like my hair, my skin color, or my weight.  I've never liked the proportions of my body, but that's a little better.  I paid to fix what I couldn't stand.  Hey - it works!

3) Work has become my life!  I think about it all the time, and I just hope that I can be the best manager possible.  I hope that I can help my employees out to grow and gain skills.  Don't ever go from a boring desk job to an on your feet all day, every day job.  It certainly gets to you, but I'm loving it!  I love working for maurices!  It's an amazing company, and I hope to be there till I just can't go anymore.

4) So I want my own family - my own children; however, I don't want to give up work.  Well, I don't plan on it.  I will be that mom who puts her child in daycare at a very early age.  I grew up in daycare, and I turned out perfectly fine.  My children will have 6-12 weeks of me, and then it's time to get back to work.  But then it just makes me wonder... do I even need to have children?  I don't want to raise children in this area anyways, and then I won't even be around.  For some that's such an easy answer, but for me, I really am not sure.  I guess if/when that time comes, I'll figure something out.  I mean, I do work for an amazing company that wants you to have family time!  And of course, I think about getting pregnant and having the worst issues with gaining weight.  UGH!

See... I told you my brain was running.

5) Church!  That will probably always be a battle, and everyone will have their opinions about it.  To some it's so easy, and to others, it just doesn't make sense.  I haven't been for a month for one reason or another, and won't be there for another two weeks.  Honestly, I don't miss it.  I guess I probably should, but I never really enjoyed going so why would I miss it.  Right now, I couldn't tell you where I wanted to be or what I wanted in this area.  I thought I knew, but I must not have.  It really shouldn't be this hard, and it shouldn't split people, families apart!  And besides, I can promise you that the best people I know are not LDS.  Not that I don't know some great people who are, but really, the best people I know are not LDS or at least not active.

Just a lot to think about, and I'm sure there's so much more.  Like why I had a dream that I was running away from some creeps trying to I guess kill me with someone else and my dog Lexie.  Yea, that was weird!

Just wanted you to know that I have missed you. I love you Angela. I know you are a great store manager. I know that when you and Brandon are ready for a family--you will be a good mommy too. I have watched you through all your ups and downs these last few years--and I think of you dancing in the Cultural Hall and I remember the awesome spirit when you bore your testimony at your baptism. You are very special. Love, Sis. Ault
