Excitement!

This is what passes for excitement in my life. Target changed their brand name and sent me a bunch of coupons for all those things you have to have around the house. So I went to Target today and got a bunch of stuff for 30 bucks! I was so excited!
But I had to ask myself as I packed my stuff and my kids into my car: if I had known when I graduated high school that this is where my path would lead, would I have taken an exit somewhere? In other words, do I have any regrets about the life I lead? I certainly wish I'd have gotten my degree before having kids. But, honestly, school just didn't have a purpose until I had two kids and having a degree meant having a way to support them. I wish I had chosen another man to be my children's father. But it was raising them alone that gave me the self-confidence to believe that I deserved someone who would treat me well. So, I suppose I wish I had taken another, easier path to get here. But I think the journey has been well worth it. I have finally created the only thing my heart has ever really wanted: a family.
