We all change as we all stay the same and our blogging means that we have a permanent record of the metamorphosis. Like a diary, but public. Oh, shit. ;) I am taken aback by PepsiCo's blurb, though. "[...] and does not want kids or a husband, though she is perfectly happy that way.” Um, THOUGH she is perfectly happy that way? I mean, gourd bless the mommybloggers and all, I *know* that they go through heartache and stress and daily planning and have love for another life that I will never understand, but it's precisely this attitude that anyone who DOESN'T want marriage and children is some sort of freak (or in "your" case, according to PepsiCo, curiously well balanced even though you're a freak) that really gets my goat. ::fume, fume:: Okay, end rant. I just need a cup of coffee. And my breakfast whiskey. Yes, you are right. We all change as we all stay the same and our blogging means that we have a permanent record of the metamorphosis.

And it is really good to have record of the journey from "hell no!" to "maybe someday" to "I am so ready." I really cherish it. And I think my future kid, if s/he ever shows up, will too.

I am a Woman... can't my wants and needs change... shouldn't they? I mean what I want and need should be very different at 30 compared to ...say .... 20.
