It's how it is...and I loooooove it.

I haven't lived the most exciting life.  I'm not super adventurous and am only semi-spontaneous.  Both of those qualities have kept me from doing things that I could scratch of most people's bucket lists but I'm ok with that.  I went to college at age 17, fresh out of high school.  I graduated in 4 years, earning a 4.0 my entire senior year.  I am proud of that because I worked very hard for it.  I stayed for one more complete year and got my teaching credential.  I got a job right away and taught for the next 7 years until I had Drew.  I think I'm kinda smart.  I love to read, even though I don't make time for that these days.  I love to write, although this is the extent of it anymore.  I proofread most things for most of the people I know.  My brain is capable of lots of things even though you really wouldn't know it these days.  My job, my life, requires very little intellect.  It requires a shitload of patience, a tremendous amount of love, an abundance of kisses.  But not much else.  You don't have to have 5 years of college education to fold a thousand pieces of freakin' laundry a week.  Or to load a dishwasher twice a day.  And when I start to reflect and think about all I've accomplished and all I've seemingly lost, 2 minutes of this snaps me back to reality.  I'm the luckiest God damn woman alive.
