So, as I was driving to work yesterday, I was thinking about how I never describe myself as a woman.  When I am with my friends, we are a group of women.  When I am by myself, I am a girl.  I don't know why I don't apply the word "woman" to myself.  Maybe it's because I don't feel like a grown-up yet.  Remeber when you were a little girl/boy and all you wanted was to be a grown-up?  I'm still waiting for that to happen.  I mean, I take care of myself and the boys, I pay my bills, I live by myself, so there is some component of adulthood there, but grown-up?  Not so much.

Oh, and when someone gestures in my direction while saying, "That lady," I turn and look behind me.
