Summer's Last Fling

This summer has been super crazy busy.  I've been back to work almost six months.  Kent is almost one year old and the three of us are developing a sort of routine.  Being a mother has changed me though I think, at the core of me, I am still the same person.  I guess it's more accurate to say that I have different priorities now and that in turn changes my behavior and thinking about the world.  Baby K, Cheng, and even Gwen occupy the top spot on my priority list; each one taking the super-duper #1 spot at different times, depending on the situation.  It's like a wheel with their faces on it that constantly turns.  Whoever's smiling face (or I guess crying face?) the needle points to is the one I must attend to.  I don't mind; I love being a mom and a wife.  I just have to remember to include my face on the wheel so that I can remember that I need attention to.  I have to remember to love being me.
