tHe mOtHeR iN Me

So this weekend I partied like I was a teenager again. I had a happy hour on Friday and a Mardi Gra Party on Saturday. All though it was nice to visit my single days I'm glad it's over and I'm ready for a slow weekend coming up.

On to the point of this post.... One of the girls wasn't feeling well after a bit too much fun towards the end of the night and I found myself turning right into a mother. I could not help it... I've spent so many nights trying to sooth and comfort Quinn at 2am that when I found myself up at 2am again with someone that was not feeling well, I went into that same mothering place. I just find the change in myself interesting. There is a scene in the movie "Mr. Mom" where the mother who was a stay at home mom had rejoined the corporate world and as she was having dinner with her new boss she began cutting his steak for him because the transition from mother was difficult. As I think back now on this weekend of fun that I had, I realize I am forever changed. You can take the mom out on the town but you can't go backwards and take the mom out of that person even for one night. I will forever be mindful of that little person at home who is waiting for me. And for the moment, 2am means rocking soothing and tending...

At least I'm not the mom who baby talks in public :) That would have been histerical!
