| Introduction | You all know me but here's my take on my life. As a kid, I loved playing with my friends, making up shows, playing with dolls and barbies, and going on family vacations. As a teenager I loved being in Madrigals, I tolerated being in the band and I drove my dad's pickup truck to school sometimes with the camper attached. As a young adult I enjoyed being a college student most of the time (I don't miss the homework or the tests). As a young married I relished having a real job and bringing home a decent paycheck. I miss those carefree days sometimes. I wouldn't go back, though, because then I would miss all the little people in my life now. As a "mature" mother (the mothers of Luke's preschool friends are so young!) I have accepted my roles as mom and wife better. I appreciate those stolen moments that I have to myself even more. I like to be efficient in my housework so that I have more of those moments. My kids make me laugh and cry sometimes (cleaning poopy underwear is the worst!). I have much to learn but my life has been a great adventure. |
