First, a little info on me. I am 36, soon to be 37, wife of almost 4 years, and mother to a 15 month old girl. I have a BS in Business Admin. and worked my way up to a Regional Sr. Mgr. for Southern CA in a large international corporation. I was successful in my career and well liked among my peers and my bosses because I worked hard, demanded perfection from myself, inspired loyalty in my employees, and was able to get along with just about anyone. I grew tired of the rat race - the stress, the politics, the lack of appreciation, and having to answer to too many people and went as far the opposite way as I possibly could. I bought a swimming pool service and repair route, a pickup truck, equipment and struck out on my own. People thought I was insane - here I was leaving an almost 6 figure job to be a pool girl but that's what I wanted to do and I did it. Unfortunately, I had accumulated a lot of damage to my knees and wrists to my crazy, kamikaze karate days in my 20's and it all started flaring up with the hard physical labor of repairs and the repetitive motion of cleaning. Worked out anyways, because we were ready to try for a baby.
"The Baby" was born November 9, 2005 and has blossomed into a feisty, challenging, happy girl who keeps me on my toes. Just when I think I have it down, she throws me a curve ball and I feel like I'm back in the early months, lost and scrambling. But that's a whole 'nother post!
So that's the info on me. Before having "The Baby", the majority of my friends were male. Since having "The Baby", I've developed more female friends while struggling to hold onto my past male friendships (again, a whole 'nother post). I suspect I'm not alone in that position. I was actually told by someone that I was a male trapped in a female body based solely on how my brain worked. I have to admit that since having "The Baby", my brain has become a little more "femalized" which actually has been hard to adjust to.
Well, that's probably enough (or more than enough about me), at least to begin with.
