It's a Woman thing...

I am officially into my 21st day of working with one day off. Oddly, I am super ok with that. It means I am needed.

My kids rarely need me. No boyfriend that needs me. But thank heavens work needs me. I have decided that if you are not needed then life is less interesting. I had to go and help another facility today so I was not in my own. The Director of my facility called me twice while I was gone, on the last call said he missed me and loved me. It may seem pathetic but I live for those moments when I am needed, even if it is only work.

I feel like I have done a good job with my children if they are at a point in their lives that they don't need me like they used to. But I'm not gonna lie, it is hard to watch your children grow up. So this thing of being needed at work fills a gap.

I totally understand women that have babies later in life. If I was able I  probably would have married and had another child. It's the woman thing in me. I need to be needed.

It's odd that I need to get this old to understand what makes me "tick". But I know what it is now. I need to be needed.

I sure liked being a mother to younger children...I'm old enough to miss it and too young to be a grandma. But I look forward to grandma days. I'm gonna be a great grandma...when it's time of course.
