Who Is Aileigh?

Yesterday's post created some conflict within my "real" life. I want to address a few things in regards to this. In case you missed it, someone from my "real" life posted an anonymous comment to my blog. I won't go into what was said, but this person doesn't really know me. They have never taken the time to really get to know me. It got me thinking. Maybe I should tell you who I really am...

I am a very passionate person. When I love, I love with all of my heart. My kids, family, and friends are most important to me. That is not to say that I don't get aggravated from time to time. With that passion comes a short fuse. I will stand up for what I believe in and will not back down. If I see an injustice, I want to fight for what is right. When I believe in something, I put all my energy into it. I have my insecurities...who doesn't. I don't like to be "left out." I demand respect and will show the same respect in return. However, if I feel like I am being disrespected, I will let you know. If there is an issue, I want to deal with it right then. I don't like two faced people. I have been known to be guilty of it myself, but am working on that fault. I never claimed to be perfect and know that I am not. I can be stubborn. I will do anything in the world for the people that I love. I consider myself a pretty good friend, but I know that I always need to work on it a little more. I don't always say the right things, but my best intentions are there. I never want to intentionally hurt anyone. I know that I have, and probably will continue to hurt people with my words and for that I am sorry. I don't like to be blind-sided. I cry when I get really angry, which makes me even angrier. I don't like martyrs. My stance is quit feeling sorry for yourself and do something about it. I tend to hold a grudge. Another fault that I am working on. When I am wrong, I will say that I am wrong. I want to be liked by all people. Again a fault that I am working on. It shouldn't matter what others think, but it does. I am a control freak. I don't like it when I feel like someone else is trying to control me or part of my life. I love to laugh. I love to play board games. I can be selfish at times. However, this is a trait that has gotten better since I have had children. I have a hard time letting things go. I strive to be a good mother. A work in progress... I want my kids to grow up knowing that they are loved. Their happiness is the single most important thing to me. I try to be a good wife. Another work in progress... I hope that Golf Man would tell you that he is happy. I may not be the most domestic person, but I make up for it with love.

So that is Aileigh in a nutshell. Take it or leave it. Don't judge me before you know who I really am. Bottom line is when I love, I love with all of my heart. And I am not perfect. But who is? For those of you that do like my blog and are interested in what I have to say, Thank You! Your support means the world to me and I look forward to writing more positive posts!
