It's naptime and I was in the last phase of my computer cleanup and organization project, when I came across my Europe pictures which first reminded me that I was in Europe, and then made me cry. I feel so different. Then I was a carefree art student crying over sculptures I saw and loved, worrying that I was going overboard by buying another pair of shoes, and wondering if I was going to get my unlabeled oil paint through airport security. Now I am a stay-at-home mom crying about the overwhelming task of caring for beautiful children, wearing my favorite sweat pants, and serving fishy crackers and apple juice to all. I'm not sad, I'm just overwhelmed, I guess, by the amazing variety of beautiful experiences we have in life. Artstudent, wife, mother, tourist. It all just makes me cry!
