I have been sitting and watching Emily play this morning, and not even trying to get anything else done. I figure, when I'm at work this afternoon, I would love to be able to see her playing, so while I have the chance, I'm going to relax and enjoy it. These days will go too fast!!
So, while I was sitting, I was thinking about how women want to have it all, and there's this debate between SAHMs and working moms about who really has it best. And so, this little thought popped into my head, that maybe it's not that I can have it all, but that I can have what I want. Being an educated woman in the 21st century is like sitting at a gourmet restaurant with a pocket full of cash (and a fantastic metabolism). I can have absolutely anything on the menu, and the only limitation is that at some point I'll be too full to eat. I could have a little of everything, or a lot of a few things, but the choice is up to me.
I kind of liked that, so I thought I'd share. :)

I like that analogy.

I have had this same thought, though I have to add the caveat that part of what makes things nice and easy for us is also having really amazing and supportive partners in crime - word. :)
