Calling all adults!


Oh, my life.  I wonder how it can be so many things, how it can present so many different situations along the way, and provoke so many emotions. Charmed?  Yes.  Busy?  Always. Complicated?  Definitely.

And so it is now just like any other day.  I am swamped with a million different things to do... I'm still unpacking, still training for another 10K, assembling, mothering and potty training a toddler, cleaning, and running errands.  God help me.  And even though I have enough to keep me busy for a long, long time, I can't fight this lonely feeling.  

It's odd, really.  Most of my life, I spent being the introvert -- keeping to myself, shy and quiet.  Now, the older I get, the more I crave adult interaction.  I think it's the only thing that makes me really feel grounded -- that I serve a purpose and am more than just someone who takes care of two little ones.  I find myself needing that escape more and more, and I wonder if feeling this way is healthy or not.  Nevertheless, the feeling remains.  

And just when I thought I was getting comfortable clearing my head here, the kids come bounding into the room.  So long adult world.  I hope to see you soon.
