Was it hard for anyone else to get out of bed this morning?
I got a slow start.
But, alas,
It is near 11, and I am finally sitting down at the computer with a diet and some hummus I just made in the blender.
On my mind is this:
The New Yorker is staple bathroom reader in our house.
Nate will leave them open in the bathroom mag. caddy to articles he thinks I will enjoy.
Such thoughtfulness even while doing his business.
Well, he left one open to an article written by Tina Fey.
"Confessions of a Juggler"
Who doesn't love Tina Fey?
It was a pleasure to read.
You should take a look.
I warn you, there is an explicative or two.
But totally worth it.
Career vs Kids.
Not a problem for me.
But sometimes I wish it would be.
I wonder if I had made a different choice at one time if I could use my talents and be brilliantly funny or business savvy, or write. I would love to write.
and oh, get a paycheck.
And have someone tell me I had a skill that was desired and worthy of monetary compensation.
Oh I do wonder.
And I am happy with my choice, but I still wonder and dream a little and tell myself that
"I could have been a great many things."
And then I wonder if maybe it means I'm not putting enough brain power into raising my babies.
All good thoughts and questions,
and none that will get answered today.
It's time for pre-school pick up.

You took the words right out of my mouth (or thoughts right out of my brain??). I feel the same way. Almost verbatim. Just know that there are more women who feel as you do than you realize.
Incidentally, I just finished Tina Fey's Bossypants, from which that blog post originated. If you liked that excerpt AND you like Tina Fey, you should TOTALLY check it out. I was laughing out loud uncontrollably at some parts.
Sending you a big hug! I needed to read this today.
