so it's 20 years after college. i'm a 42-year-old stay-at-home mom of two kidlets, ages just 2 and almost 4. the only time i've ever been away overnight was when i was in the hospital having the second kidlet.i agreed to a long weekend spa reunion with my college roommates, then spent the next month fantasizing ways i could get out of it (somebody coming down with the flu figured prominently in my imaginings). local pals threatened to down me with a tranq gun like a rhino and stuff me on the plane, so, deciding that was unseemly, i dragged my sorry self to detroit.
and i'm not sorry any more.
what i am is grateful to four good friends who helped reawaken the me that was dormant inside the mommy. the two decades, five graduate degrees, five husbands, eight children, and mess of career changes, states, countries, and homes that we have under our colleective belt have not diminished our ability to entertain, encourage, inspire, comfort and love each other. they were once the reason i tried vegetarianism (liked it), frat parties (hated them), and courses like problems of race that were waaaay outside my french and art history double major.
and now they are the reason i feel a surge of energy to get a mom-and-kid yoga dvd, read about our food supply, and exfoliate. and blog.
so thank you kathy, lisa helen and janet. i love you guys.
