"You know what this means don't you?" asked my friend on the phone after I ran through the litany of things I'd been up to over the past couple of weeks, "you're getting a life!"
For the past 30 years I've defined myself as "Mom". Oh, I've had great jobs, great experiences, but everything (EVERY waking moment of the day), has revolved around my 4 children. They are wonderful children who have all grown up to be smart, funny, sweet young adults. They just really don't have time for me anymore. They all have their own lives, 2 of them have their own children (who I adore and therefore throw my grandmother hat into the ring), but they're busy. Places to go, things to do and people to see. It's time for me to move on. Get a life. I guess I will.
