Ya know those movies where everything is going wrong in the main character's life?

Somehow, he or she gets a chance to magically go back and fix a few things, and that ends up changing the course of their life?

For example, in "13 Going on 30," the main character realizes she has been so mean to her friends and family and it cost her the boy-next-door. When it all looks hopeless, she wakes up as a 13-year-old once again, and has the knowledge to change the course of her teen years, and she ends up marrying that boy when she's older.

Do you ever feel like your life is spiraling downward again and you won't ever get the chance to wake up and fix things so that your bright future will happen?

I wanna be in that movie!!! They wouldn't even need to re-wind it all that far...(Well, you know, they could, and that'd be cool too. How busy that would be. So much to do/undo. Is there going to be time to sleep? )

So, yeah, can relate. You know that line from the Talking Heads song that says, "How did I GET here?!"? Yeah.

Oh, man. I hate that movie.

People think I'm weird because I think it's so depressing.

But people also think I'm weird because I hate fall colors and refer to the leaves turning on the trees as "the colors of death."

Honestly.... Ya there are so many things I could change and would probably want to but no I would,'t. I am still proud of the person I am and even tho things are tough RIGHT NOW I know that is about to end. I'm no longer going to let my son mess things up for me he is going to have to work for himself and I for myself... I've learned a HUGE lesson pertaining to parenting and ya everything teaches you something,,,,

I think there are things that I could have done differently for sure. I have felt that way. But at the same time, I know I'd be missing things that are important to me now. I'd be risking the very existance of my sons and missing out on having my husband. I wouldn't want to go back. Those people are worth more to me than all the mistakes and hard times I've gone through to get them.
