a piece of me











Although the two things in the title of this entry are completely unrelated…they are what’s on my mind. I’ll start with the hair cuts. I just got a new one. I have been feeling like I am in a rut in my appearance lately and I decided to make a grand change. I cut my very long hair short. It barely reaches my shoulders now. I also colored my hair darker in an attempt to rid myself of the highlights I had my friend do for me. So anyway…I feel kind of pretty and I am loving the short hair. As for the biological clock part of the title..Everyone around me seems to have kids. Okay so most of that comes from the fact that I am working in a daycare. However the people in my hometown are having babies like crazy. Maybe there is something in the water in my tiny little hometown. Half of my graduating class has kids some of the girls are married but some of them aren’t. I have a great boyfriend and I can see myself with him for the rest of my life. That is a scary thought and I guess it led to the thoughts about kids too. He’s going to be thirty in four years and I’m going to be in my late twenties…we are going to be old parents compared to everyone else…at least that is the way it seems. I mean we aren’t even thinking about having kids yet. My parents were young parents. I can’t imagine raising a teenager when I’m in my late 30s to 40s. I guess I am just worried because of the fear about becoming a true adult. Every other boyfriend in my past was harder to see myself with them forever. Seeing myself with one person for the rest of my life is really really scary. He’s a great guy though. Maybe that is why my mother is acting so crazy. Maybe she senses that I could be dating the man I will marry and that scares her like it scares me.Who knows….

Just had my hair cut short and did a henna – it always gives me a lift.
I was a young mother – 21. Here in NYC I see alot of moms who are in their 40’s with infants. I take my hat off to them, I sure couldn’t do it.
