St. Joe!

Last night, I convinced my family to go with me to an Alumni event from my college (Saint Joseph's College, Rensselaer IN). It was nice to see a few people that I knew. However I felt a lot a little out of place.  Here are all these professionals, who were in many ways "networking" and then there is me...stay at home mom.

Now, I don't in anyway mean to imply that I feel bad, or useless, I've said it before and I'll say it again..."This is a sweet gig."  But in that specific situation, I was certainly...unpurposed  is that a word?   Unless they were desperate to find someone who cleans up bodily functions, helps with elementary school homework, and knows  instantly which dinosaur her children are play acting...because you can't confuse a stegosaurus with an ankylosaurus...

It is tempting, I suppose, to say that my college education was wasted.  But I certainly don't feel that way, not by any stretch of the imagination.  I am after all in graduate school, and one day I will return to "work."  I use my college education everyday, in one way or another.  "Use" isn't the right word..... I live my college education everyday.   That's more like it, my fellow SJC folks will know exactly what I mean.

Go Saint Joe!
