it's simply amazing...

Here's the thing. If you don't use it, you lose it. And I'm losing my writing ability. So I'm using it. If this bores you, read something else.

On babies...

I cannot believe how this has changed me. I wasn't going to be one of those moms. I was going to be normal and easy going. I was going to be able to talk about something other than my child. I wasn't going to cry at "going away to college" commercials. But I've become that. I am a sap. I'm losing my mind. I lock my keys in my car (over and over), I try to re-mail opened mail (mail that has cash in it), I can't talk...it's sad, really.

But on the other hand, I'm still me. I'm amazed at how much of me is left. At times, I really forget I have a son. Not in the bad way, but in the way that keeps me me. It's so refreshing to give so much to another being, to know that you are completely responsible for another human, but to still find that you are just yourself. No new superpowers, my life isn't over. I'm still the same strange girl. And that's beautiful. Being a woman is simply amazing. I'm thankful.
