So much to write about, so little time.Two items:
One, I'm nearly done with work and then I get to be ON MY OWN for 5 whole days. By "ON MY OWN" I mean "WITH PEOPLE I'M NOT MARRIED TO OR HAVE GIVEN BIRTH TO". I love both those I've birthed and the one I married, but I haven't been on my own (aside from a business trip or two) since last summer. Just think, I can STOP AND PEE WHENEVER I WANT TO. I CAN EAT AND READ MY BOOK WITHOUT ANYONE HAVING A TANTRUM. I CAN SWEAR...

This is an edited excerpt from an email to a friend.Its such a strange time in our lives. We're adults, we have obligations to our families, we've chosen a career path (whether short or long term), but we also know that the choices we make right now are setting down the cement for the years to come. I often find myself wondering if I really want my cement stuck where it is. Sometimes the answer is yes, sometimes it is no.
The only thing I can really share or say is what my thoughts a...
