About the Dependant Variable (me)

I have been blog absent for about 10+ years. I am a former Elementary School teacher turned stay at home mom turned CFO of my husband's construction company (hence the extended absence). I graduated and taught for 1 year before having my first son so my teaching potential was never fully realized (who's ever really is anyhow). Being a stay at home mom was super rewarding and after starting, running and selling a construction company I appreciate my previous careers so much more. I reentered the adult world seamlessly from stay at home mom status but then it took over every facet of my life. I had very little time or effort for anything outside of our company and my kids. Though the company was successful and has afforded us our current pre-retirement it took all of my head space and was less than personally fulfilling.

After 14 years I am still married to my husband with whom I continue to share many highs and lows. My sons have entered the initial years of their teenage chrysalis phase. Fingers crossed I turn out some butterflies. I am finding that child rearing is a lot of fingers crossed moments littered with the occasional victory immediately replaced by more crossed fingers. It's an exciting cliff to hang over the edge of daily....

I started blogging out of the necessity to keep my brain active but stopped long ago when my brain could take no more stimuli and all creative ports became blocked. I'm hoping to find my way back to something I can enjoy while I try to figure out who the hell I am and where I want to be. This seems like a fine place to work through that. Intermittently of course because consistency has never been my strong suit.
