Recognized!

I decided to run to Wal-mart this morning before Jon went to work so I could go kid free. It was amazing. I got in and out in about 15 minutes. I was at the check out line putting the items on the belt and the cashier looked up at me and said, "Where are your kids?" After just a second wondering how she knew that I had kids I said, "Oh you remember me!" which she replied, "Yeah, you have a lot of cute kids." I didn't know if I should be flattered or disturbed that she remembered who I was. But she was very nice so I will choose to be flattered!

In my high school years sports defined me. People use to say, "Oh yeah, your that basketball or volleyball player." I wondered if I would ever be defined by anything again. I guess I am. I am now "That Lady With A Lot Of Kids." I'm sure I will be going through another identity crisis in eighteen years when all the kids are out of the house and I am not that lady anymore. I wonder what I will be then. Hopefully I will be known as, "That Good Looking Granny!"
