Sense of Self

It occurred to me over the weekend that there could be some question regarding the title of my blog, "Charlie's Mom".  Obviously, yes, that's me -- but I want to mitigate concerns anyone may have that over the past 5 months I have lost my identity and become a "Stepford Mom".  :o)

I define myself as much more than a mom -- a Christian, a wife, a daughter (in law), a sister (in law), an aunt, a friend, a neighbor, a redhead (natural for at least a while longer), a professional, etc, etc.

But the thing is, since the day Charlie was born I've felt like Miss America, the President of the United States, the Biggest Loser, a Lottery Winner...like I've achieved a role that I worked for, wished for and dreamed of for so long.  I love to be referred to as "Charlie's Mom"!

Also, as funny as he is, I'm not sure Jason would enjoy me blogging about his daily activities, and I guarantee that noone is interested in the ins and outs of looking for jobs, setting up Business Expo booths or washing sheets.  :o)

In that vein, here is a picture of Charlie driving the boat with Jason on Sunday -- he's the cutest first mate I've ever seen!

  2. It is amazing how a baby changes so much. We love hearing about his antics and your humorous recounting of them. Looks like a great day to be on the boat.

    hugs and kisses to all
