Well I did it, I made it halfway through the challenge and only a day late. 🙂  I knew I would end up not thinking about it one day and miss one.  Oh well.  I am back on track today.  Today’s blog is 6 things I wish I had never done.  Whoa this one is a doozy.  In fact my boys are sitting here just dying to know what they are.  So here I go…posting carefully. 🙂

Day 5 – 6 Things I Wish I had Never Done…

1:  Stop dancing.  I was a dancer for 16 years and I loved it.  I did tap, jazz, and my favorite, Ballet.  Then I stopped because we moved and I had already surpassed their instruction and did not want to go backwards.  Then over time it was just one excused after another.

2: Student loans.  Prior to photography I was a pre-med student focusing on neurobiology/psychology.  So yep I have a few loans total over $30,000. :/  If you are reading this and you are just entering college…STAY AWAY FROM STUDENT LOANS!!!  They sound good in the beginning but that is how they get you.

3:  Started  cussing.  Yep you read that right.  I have been known to use a few choice words.  It is so not ladylike.  I try not to but when I get heated it is soooo hard. :/  I am a work in progress. 🙂

4:  Lost touch with friends and family.  When I was younger I always made it a point to remember everyone’s birthday, wrote little notes here and there, and just kept in touch.  Then as I got older and my family grew I slacked and now I have lost touch with too many people I wish I hadn’t.  Thank you to Facebook for allowing me to find some of those I had lost touch with over the years, but there are still a couple, including a very good friend, Alex, from High School.

5:  Put my kids in public school.  This year  I took on homeschooling my middle son, Tristan, when the public school was failing him.  It was a struggle at 1st but it has been the best thing we ever did.  Now I really wish I would have home schooled from the start.  Maybe if we started from the beginning even my oldest wouldn’t have to struggle so much.

6:  I wish we would have never bought a KIA prior to having Tristan, only to trade it in shortly after his birth because it was not big enough.  We are still paying for that negative equity. :/

There it is 6 of my regrets.  Are you willing to share yours??
