Cheaper than a Shrink

Ok, so I'm new to blogging, but I figure it's cheaper than a shrink and I can get things off my chest...I don't want any of you to think I have a horrible life...I don't. I have a wonderful husband, amazing 2 year old, a good job and a roof over my head which is a lot more than some people can say these days.

On the other hand, I have issues to deal with and hate to always turn to my hubby (especially when he's sometimes the problem) and I tried the shrink thing years ago and wasted money because I don't like talking to them and usually don't tell them the whole truth anyway. So why did I go in the first place you ask...

That was years ago and it was not my choice at that point, my parents decided if I wouldn't talk to them then it was off to the shrink. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't a bad kid, just very quite and introverted and didn't make friends easily. They were concerned because I preferred to be by myself rather than out with friends. I don't know if I just outgrew it or am great at faking it, but I'm certainly no longer an introvert and while I do need "me" time, I do enjoy being around people now.

Thinking back on it, a lot of it probably had to do with the fact that I was always a bit on the heavy side and as kids do, I was teased horribly. I think things started to change when I finally outgrew the weight issue and made the cheerleading squad. I still wan't the most popular, but definitely started being more outgoing.

So I'm almost 38 and you wonder why I'm having flashbacks to junior high and highschool. It's because my 20 reunion is coming up in a few months. Of course more of us are on facebook, but I've only kept in touchwith a few of them.

I remember when my mom had her 20 year reunion, I gave her such a hard time... "It's been 20 years???...OMG you're so old." Needless to say, she got a kick out of it when I told her I got the invite for mine.
