So you may be wondering exactly what the name of this blog means. It's simply this: I am a mom, I am a daughter, I am an engineer, I am a couch potato, I am a Christian. But none of those things truly define me...I am more than all of them and that is the whole point.
I actually functioned in each of those roles this weekend. My college-age daughter recently moved home after a couple years on her own in Georgia, and we've been working on setting up an apartment in the basement for her. Her boyfriend was visiting from Cincinnati for the holiday weekend, so I got to spend lots of time being mom. We also hosted a family cookout and my mom (age 83) spent the night. It was a four-day weekend for me, which resulted in hour upon hour of tv viewing. And I rarely miss attending church on Sunday. And through all of that I laughed, cried, wore a red sparkly visor, sang patriotic songs, lit the first fire in my backyard, and beat a thunderstorm while grilling out.
Tomorrow it's back to work, and hopefully around 8 am the engineer kicks into gear, while all the other parts vie for little compartments in my heart and mind. We'll see who wins for the next post.
