Identity Crisis

You may notice things look a little different around here.

Remember the move I mentioned a while back? I'm still considering it. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find EVERYTHING I wanted in a new home for the price I'm willing to pay. (Which, in case you were wondering, is "free".)

In the meantime, I continue to grow and change. Baby steps. Step #1: shed the name I'm so bored with. Nothing removes the label of indecision like giving yourself a new name.

Names and titles are critical to their owners. When I started blogging over a year ago, I couldn't think of a good title, so I just chose Indecisive Girl. I think part of my problem was that I wasn't really clear on my purpose yet.

As the months went on, I thought more and more about this site. What is my purpose? What is this blog about, really?

A big chunk of it is about Ethan. His first few years were so life-changing that I was driven to write about them. I have a lot to share about his early years, and my experiences raising a child with special needs.

Part of it is about CG. Lately I've been learning to deal with a two-year-old, and all that comes with the needy toddler years.

Some of it is about Jete. About how special our marriage is, despite all the obstacles we've had in the way of medical issues, full-time jobs and loads of dishes.

But really, when you get right down to it, it's not about them. It's about Me.

I write because it makes me feel good. I write because I want to believe I have something to say, something people want to read. I'm longing to be someone who can contribute to the world. Maybe, someone who can make a difference. I want to be Special.

And that? Makes me pretty damn Needy.

And so I give you, "Special and Needy". A little about them, and a whole lot more about Me.

Well? What do you think? Don't be shy. Needy people love feedback.
