today i am
By heather | November 2, 2009
This week I will be 34.
Three years of kids has changed and shaped me more than the previous thirty.
I am less eager to please people that don’t mean much in the grand scheme of my life.
I am getting better at sorting out who those people are.
I am more likely to say no when I don’t want or don’t have to do something.
I am less of a perfectionist and can recognize when good enough is all that’s required.
I am better equipped to advocate, question, and push when it comes to me and the kids who depend on me.
I am far more affected by stories of child abuse and as a general principle think that abusers should be taken out back and shot.
I still question every day whether full-time work is what I should be doing.
There are days when I thank the heavens that I can go to work.
My birthday has lost some of the cache that used to lead me to celebrate for a full week and tell everyone I knew why I was celebrating.
I still expect cake.
