I kinda think the answer lies in what Ellie posted. I'm not sure how exactly? But, I think that's the bit I'm missing.
It's something in my core... something having to do with how I value myself.
Over and over again, since I was a kid, putting myself in these overwhelming situations to prove my worth.
I started my own newspaper before. I had a small child and an alcoholic husband. I was going to prove I could do it. I burned out.
I went from graduating with a degree in Eng. Lit. to becoming a grad asst in Nutrition. Why? Because it was a challenge. I burned out but got some great grades.
Always taking on the impossible.
One-man-band of a newspaper and homeschooling my daughter as a single parent.
I see a trend.
D12 and I have been playing tennis every night with the choc. lab and loving it. Thought I'd mention that. It's been fun. :-)
