This Is Me

MOC Day 22 - All About Me

Appropriately, I used the Me Right Now kit by Kim Jensen. | With You Alphabet - Rachel Young designs | font is Peas How Sweet Eats



and since I always want to know what they say and this font isn't all that clear at this size:

Me. I wonder when I’ll feel like a grown-up? Maybe when my kids are teenagers? I still love to read, even though the only reading I ever do is when I listen to audiobooks on my iPhone while falling alseep. I feel like a superhero when I wear my apron and make convenience foods from scratch and can them so my family can grow up with healthy food. And I secretly wonder if other feminists would look down on me. I sometimes look around and feel bad that my house is such a mess, but not bad enough to do much of anything about it. I love, love, love my husband and can’t figure out how I got so lucky to have had the opportunity to choose him. My babies are the most amazing, inspiring, exhausting little assholes, and I can’t wait for them to grow-up, and I want them to stay little forever. I treasure my alone time, love my computer and wish I had a few more girlfriends. I talk to my mom on the phone nearly every day. I wish my sister lived next door like we planned when we were little. I miss my dog. I’m trying really hard to accept my body because I fear my daughter developing a body complex or eating disorder even more than I fear an extra fifteen pounds. I wish all the other moms would simmer down on the holiday cutesy celebration junk and give me a break, but I love Pinterest anyway. I seriously wish coffee tasted better. I need more sleep but I stay up every night to digiscrap. I’m so proud that I nursed all three of my kids until they were one, and I’m super-excited to wean this last one and have my own body back but I kinda don’t want to because then I’ll won’t have that precious, sweet baby-time any more.
This is me. I’m glad to be who I am, living the life I have with the people that I love who love me back. Pretty freakin’ lucky, huh? JANUARY 23, 2014
