85. I Am All Three

Mother, wife, writer.  Responsible for the playdates, the Target runs, the lunches packed in a hurry.  In charge of the marriage, the social life, the husband’s dirty socks.  And for me, I write.

    Of all the things you do and share in your life....You have something that's all yours. Me, too! It's important.

    At once heart-warming and tragic. I found the graphic particularly touching. I'm sure they appreciate you!

      thanks! I wanted to put the writing at the core, but smaller than everything else. :)

    Nice! My first thought was similar, wife, mother, and my other third. I totally get it.

    Love that you put writing for you. Also no mom is complete without those Target runs!

    As a father of grown kids, I know that the time you regain when the kids are more independent, can be enormous. It's a bit of sad time, but the writing can fill the void. Nicely done!

    Being a mother can be so many things under one umbrella. The "writing is for me" is probably your salvation!! Mine is off at school now, making her own "three things in one": Artist, Drummer, Lesbian. Not necessarily in that order, but art is always first! Amy
