Not much to say. Well, not true. I just haven't had my coffee yet. I've been talking about writing for so long and here I am, typing, wondering what to say. I am - I am a 47 year old mom of a beautiful 4 year old girl. I want to use this blog to post my thoughts on what it's like to be an older mom, how motherhood has affected my thoughts, actions, marriage and body. How it feels to be my age and hanging with other mom's with young kids - most in their mid-30's or women my age who have kids who are much older. What it's like to have lost my mother at 14 and how it affects my own role as a mom. Of course all of this is while trying to raise a girl who's positive, happy, confident - who won't be bullied or a bully (RIP Phoebe Prince), who is compassionate, who reads, who's smart, who doesn't spend her time watching too much tv, spending too much time on FB, who doesn't become an addict. Am I wanting anything different than most parents?
Despite all my obsessions about motherhood, I'm also a spiritual seeker ,a wanna-be writer who, until now has only written Facebook blurbs, and a wife, friend, sister and aunt who wants to be the best I can.
That's all for now. I *really* need that cup of coffee.
