Indecision

(This?)

I seem to vacillate between wanting a very traditional, quiet suburban-raise-your-kids, have dinner at home kind of life and a batten-down-the-hatches, single, crazy, drink mint jullips in the afternoon, sleep with my students, writer-ly kind of life.

I don't know why these two things seem mutally exclusive, but they do. Kind of like being a Southerner or a Yankee.

Then again, I've always tended to think in binaries, despite my academic posturing.

(Or this?)

You're preaching to the choir, sister! (But I do think there's something somewhere in between that is far more rewarding than either end of the spectrum...)
