Surviving the Domestic Jungle

My meeting last night was a success. Very interesting group of people with very interesting results. I worried about my kids a lot but my husband did just fine. Was he stressed and exhausted after the 3 hours? Yes but the kids were in one piece so all in all a success. I am well aware I am a people watcher and I did it last night. I observe people before I get to know them and I could see how I come off as unfriendly because of that. I’m just not the person that has to control the room…like my husband! I am the person quietly observing and paying attention to every detail of what is going on and who is in the room. I don’t know why I do it and I don’t plan on changing it! Its not like I am sizing people up by any means, I am more so trying to figure them out before I open up. I dont know how to explain it as it is maybe a little weird but I don’t think I am alone in taking the observer stance before showing my personality. I have recently met a woman who I didn’t need to view before I trusted her and opened up. I love people you just connect with and you just know are good people and you willl have a lot in common with them. Interesting people and experiences have been happening recently and that’s what makes life enjoyable. We always need to make the best of our situations and I am trying to make the best of my life by finding some sort of life outside of being a wife and mother. Being a housewife will drive you insane..if you let it!
