I've been working so hard for the past eight years and I'm tired - but I'm also deliciously tired because what a wonderful life I've lived.

It's not like I'm cooking! I'm breastfeeding - I feel like that's the best cooking I could do.

I try to balance it out on the whole. Being a mum is always the priority. Next, it's taking care of yourself. Right now, I get to only work two days a week - it's a dream. I can't imagine how hard it is for mothers who work 40 hours a week.

It's kind of ironic that if I get my Ph.D., I'll be a real doctor

I really have to force myself to tidy up around the house.

I've had the time to go through all the life phases with my parents, from being a bratty teenager, pushing them away, to saying later on, 'Oh my God, I can't believe what you did for me - thank you. I love you so much.'

I have good genes in my family, so we'll see just how long I'll be around.
