Identity Crisis

I'm having a bit of an identity crisis. Not about myself per say but about this blog. I'm afraid the name doesn't fit me anymore. I know I have mentioned this in the past but I really do think I have outgrown it. It's not all about me anymore. I'm pregnant and I have a boyfriend who is so much more of a partner than my ex-husband ever dreamed of being so me just doesn't fit. I find myself writing more and more and more about everything and everyone else (though still a lot about me or my perspective cause I am the one writing it and that's what happens when you have a blog). I can only imagine it is going to get more and more like that as I get closer to having the baby and well...have the baby in addition to the fact that I will be getting remarried. (When? Who knows...but it will be happening some day.) Then it really won't be about me at all anymore. Don't get me wrong. Taking care of myself and making sure that me and my health remains important to me is still something that I will need to address on a daily basis but the overall picture is bigger and brighter and well...all about my family. It's funny that I am thinking about all of this now because technically I was married when I started this blog over 2 years ago and well...I didn't feel the same way. I had just gone through a miscarriage, had left my then husband twice already, and was treated in ways that a person should never be treated (though I wasn't perfect) so maybe that is the difference now? It's just that every bit of my life feels different and better and more meaningful and more inspiring and I want my blog to reflect that. So it is time to hang up the old "It's All About MiE" hat and move onto something else? If so, what do I move onto? My future last name is pretty rad but...it's not my last name yet so it would be weird to change it to something like that. I was thinking something like The Wild Adventure's of Katman and Friends but that is pretty wordy. Crap. What to do...what to do? What thoughts do you all have? I'd love to hear them!

Today I'm feeling pretty good again so I think today is going to be a clean and purge kind of day. I do have a random private dance class in the middle of the day but it still leaves plenty of time to get this house is tip top shape for the weekend. Boyfriends best friend in the whole wide world and his girlfriend are coming into town and boyfriend has been under a lot of pressure with work lately so I'm going to surprise him with a super duper clean house. It won't actually be that hard because we are pretty clean people anyway. Probably take an hour or so get it all done. I'm going to turn the tunes on and rock out as I clean. That's the best way anyway, right?

Back to this guys girlfriend...Boyfriend and I had a disagreement last night because I'm gearing myself up for this girl to be a total train wreck of a person. You know...awful to be around and whatnot. He thinks that is wrong. He thinks I should go into it with a positive outlook and all that jazz. Here's my thinking. If I set my standards REALLY low then my chances of being disappointed are extremely low. She really only has one direction to go from low and that is up. It will then leave me pleasantly surprised when she turns out to be normal, right? Plus I'm the one that is going to be spending more time with her than Boyfriend is because if they want any alone boy time it requires me preoccupying her. That leaves me either with a lot of time of disappointment or blessed to hang with a gal that rocks. Does this make sense? Yeah...I get that she could be the most amazingest fantasticest wonderfulest girl in the universe but then again...she could totally suck ass. I would rather not spend a week in complete and utter disappointment by building her so low that the only way she could go is up which would leave me happy in the end. Oh well...I better get to work!

Doesn't mean they ahve to stay in our lives:) I am excited to see what you come up with for your blog. I think it has been all about "him" for a while in your blog, which is awesome. Be fun to see what you change it to!!

  2. MiE Lifted, MiE Aware, MiE Family.... Just a suggestion to keep a little i in Me because loosing yourself in others so completely that you loose me is not a good plan.

  5. I LOVE countrycowgirl's suggestion! I also second what Ruth says because having children makes you lose yourself in a way you could never imagine. I am just now getting back to ME in 4 yrs, some women never get 'me' back. So keeping the eye on yourself is still a wonderful idea that shouldn't be put to the side. Hope this makes sense :)
