It's All About Me... Or, Is It?

Each day on the road for a minimum of three, off to DC
It's all about me


Mom, wife, daughter, daughter/sister-in-law, care taker, provider - that's me
It's all about me


As a mom, there's homework, sports, theatre, music, friends - running from sea to shining sea
It's all about me


A few titles I've held - Cookie Mom, Team Mom, PTSO President, Music Booster rep, Youth Group
Leader, Eagle Scout Nag, and Homework Nazi
It's all about me


Under Armor, Nike, Nordstrom, and Abercrombie for them - it's the clearance rack for me
It's all about me


Family vacations - Hawaii, Sedona, Grand Canyon, Orlando, "the beach," and NYC
It's all about me


Companion and support for head shots, casting calls, auditions, hair appointments, set designs and Project Z
It's all about me


They've no grass, no mulch, no weekly Saturday morning cleaning sprees
It's all about me


A promise of four-year, post-secondary educations for free
It's all about me


When finished, they come and go as they please - out often past three - room and board still free
It's all about me


I sit for hours on end listening to youthful philosophy
It's all about me


Open mind, open heart, be patient, live and let be
It's all about me


One word - "seriously"
And, it's all about me


It is now, and always will be, you see
All about me
