How Do You Define Yourself?

I remember reading and discussing in a Women's Studies class I took many moons ago (around 2001, so forgive me that I don't remember specifics) that women, when asked, tend to define themselves with their relationships to other people--daughter, sister, wife, mother, etc. Men, however, define themselves by what they do--engineer, mechanic, writer, etc. I've consciously thought about that when asked about myself for the last ten years, whether I've been working, staying home with my kids, going to school, or any combination of the three. Let me set the record straight--the most important thing in the world to me is my family. Period. However, there are so many more things about me than just being my kids' mom, or my husband's wife, or my parents' child. I have so many interests, passions, and skills--which I'm cultivating every day, whether I'm covered in spit up, debating a point in class, hanging out with friends, or writing this blog while I make dinner, tell the twins a story, bounce the baby on my knee, and mentally review material for an upcoming test. "Who are you" can be a loaded question, if you let it be. As for me, I think I'll just let you get to know me...and then you can answer that question for yourself.
