I stayed holed up in my office today writing...bios and statements... and a few moments of actual creative writing.
Brad and Amy came for dinner. Mom shopped and cooked. Amy and Brad are overdue with their first baby, and I'm just so excited for them (and that lucky baby). I feel as if I have no wisdom to give them. I was never prepared for any of my actual births. I was only prepared for the ideal ones, and yet, the ones I had were perfect in their own odd ways. They were always challenging and different than I anticipated and, yes, beautiful.
Oh I miss that. What a beautiful time! The time of child bearing seems to have passed so quickly. I have barely grown up myself. Am I grown? Hmmm...
I wish Adeline let me listen to Bach. She's not a fan. What does that mean?
A life full of the unexpected? Most definitely.
"Welcome," I say to myself. Welcome. This is all going to blow your mind!
WHERE IS MY SEATBELTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
