I had this discussion yesterday with my friend Debi... being 'empowered' means having the choice of whether to be a successful accountant (which I was) or being a stay at home mome (which I am). I can be whatever I want... and being a mommy is strangely fulfilling.
I always thought those women who popped out babies were just trying to justify their pathetic existance when they say that.... but being a mommy is awesome. Having the opportunity to wear my pajamas all day is even more so.
Of course, ask me that in about six months, which is the longest I've ever been out of my field (by choice) without going crazy. I wonder how long it will be until I start hearing the seductive call of tax season.
