I'm in a reflective mood and trying to figure out all the hats I wear. I feel like it's all one gigantic juggling act and I really never was any good at juggling. So I'll do what I do best - make a list. Here goes:
mom to Sophie, Lucy and John, wife to Dave, daughter, daughter-in-law, granddaughter, sister, sister-in-law, friend, outreach coordinator for the Red River Valley Writing Project (RRVWP), conference organizer, book club organizer, teacher study group organizer, consultant for RRVWP, memo writer, volunteer reader at elementary school, volunteer writing workshop teacher in Sophie's class, wanna-be writer, author of four manuscripts - all only 1/3 done, newly appointed co-chair of Children's Writer's Conference, reader, quilter, friend, cooker of meals that no one in this household likes, painter (of walls, not canvases), general contractor of the house next door - by default, online shopper, planner, bathroom scrubber, sweeper, movie watcher, cross country skier, Curves member, always wanting to lose weight woman, blabbermouth, crier, yeller, classical music lover, organizer, baker, grocery shopper, magazine reader, three blankets at night woman, problem solver, muller, communicator, bread lover, phone talker, sleep lover, kid driver, swimmer, basketball player, party planner, coffee drinker, pear pie eater, listener, talker.
There you go - what's your list look like?
Marci,
ReplyDeleteYou list a whole lot of stuff that you *do*. Does any of this define who you are?
