My Epiphany!

Yes, folks, I have had an epiphany. Something clicked and I did have an epiphany. Here is what it is!

I am not a senior citizen! You would think that the fact that I am not even 35 would tip me off, but it didn't. I have been living like I should be collecting Social Security, but I am going to try to stop doing this.

Here is where my story starts. I got pregnant when I was 16, and had my bunchkins when I was 17. Tyler is now 16. I have never felt that I fit in with other moms especially at church, and now I realize that most moms that have kiddos my age are much older than I am.

My interests are very different from most other moms too. The music, movies, and other things I love are very different than older moms. I am going to try to accept and embrace my differences. I am also going to have to understand that not everyone will accept me.

I love Paramore, Evanescence, Guns 'n Roses, Skid Row, Nirvana, Janis Joplin, Metallica, and Dream Theater. I love going to concerts, I love dying my hair fun colors. I am still young and I am going to act like it, and not act like I am 65 to try to fit in with the other mothers of teenagers.

I am not a soccer mom! I do not wear cardigans and have a Carol Brady cut or a poodle perm! Here's another shocker: I love that my kiddo and I are into the same stuff! We have no scheduled bed times or dinner times. We do everything as a family because we all love the same stuff! We actually tell our kiddo to turn his music up so it fills the whole freaking house!!! I am going to be myself! Like it or Lump it!

Oy!

I think I need to rename this blog to "Rabbit Food, Venting, and Other Random Things". Adam and I are trying to get ourselves into some shape other than round. So far, so good.

Right now I am reading Art Geeks and Prom Queens by Alyson Noel. This book is amazing. I love it! I just finished Lies in the Gone series by Michael Grant. Holy! What an awesome book! I am on pins and needles for the next one to be released.

I love YA books. I am not really into "grown-up" books at all. There are a couple of exceptions to that rule, but overall YA fiction is my absolute favorite. It's the same with my music choices. Give me Paramore, Three Days Grace, Metallica, and Evanescence and I am one happy lady.

Today has been a trying day for me. My doctor has increased my migraine meds, so my brain is really not happy with me. Picture a crying space cadet...yeah...so not good! Tyler is still down with the stomach flu, and Adam has been my support and has been helping me so much. I love my man!
