This is a great post Heather. Yes, being a parent is permanent and it is life changing. You are actually “Just Heather” to each of us. Your own thoughts may be different, but each of us see each other in a different light.
Now look what you made me do! It’s too early in the morning to get all deeper than the ocean…

That’s scary! I’m still trying to figure out what I wanna be when I grow up and it’s not just Mom, that’s for sure. There has to be a balance between self-identification and motherhood! It was good seeing you Sunday. I kinda feel bad now, cuz I think the first question I asked you was “Where’s the girls?” I’ll try to remember not to do that to a Mom again.

It’s very tough! I’m having a hard time of this myself (I’ll probably post in depth sometime soon). It’s odd because when I do make time for myself to be me, I end up resenting the kids when they pull me away from being “Just Katie” and back to mom. It’s almost easier to stay in mom mode instead of fighting for a self apart from that.
