Oh my Gawed. That's what touched the nerve.

I've had to sacrifice alot, like we all have...I've had to sacrifice my wants, desires, hopes, dreams, even my ability to have fun because of the needs and inabilities of other people.

That's why I have felt I need to defend myself.

Because, I have needed to fight for ME.

I feel like the kid in Christmas Story when he climbs back up the slide to tell Santa what HE REALLY WANTS.

I want a little bit of joy for ME. I deserve it. I've worked so hard. I've struggled and fought for my kids and I deserve some joy. Wherever, however, I find it. We all do.
