Did I say something about being a better blogger (wow that's a tongue twister!) in my last post?? Twelve days ago -- oops! Gotta work on that!
I would like to start this post by saying I LOVE being a mom. And I love being a stay-at-home mom. My life revolves around my family -- my children in particular. And while I love it, I'm afraid maybe I've lost sight of some of the things that are important to me and the person I am.
With young children I think it is so easy for most mothers to get caught up in the "busyness" of what needs to happen every single day. Not only around the house, but the running to this activity or that. I have tried really hard not to "overschedule" us, but regardless, life is very busy. And that's fine. But I am horrible at finding time for myself and I know it has taken a toll.
Some days I don't notice it much -- other days I do. Today is one of those days. Last night was a restless night, so that doesn't help, but today I am just feeling that need to renew & re-energize. I feel the need for some inspiration and the time to act on it. And I'm not quite sure how to go about getting it.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm becoming one of those people who will be lost when my kids are grown. Will I know what to do with myself? Will I be ready to go back to work or will I even know what direction I'm headed? I like to think I will -- but really, I wonder.
Focus and balance. I need to work on both. And I also need to figure out how to get the quiet time to clear my head so I can begin to focus. I feel like there is a lot of "noise" in my life. And as an only child who values peace and quiet...noise makes me a bit wacky after a while.
Please don't take this as me complaining either. I don't mean to -- just feeling spent today I guess.
I'm hoping each of you has the time you need to recharge your batteries. I believe it's so very important.
Enjoy your day!

((((hugs)))) sweetie! You have simply been worn down by long nights and sick kids. If you can try to find time to take a long bath with a glass of wine and some nice music (maybe after the kids have gone to bed.) You need that time to yourself!!! smiles...
I HEAR YA!!!! I know EXACTLY what you mean Rita!!
I know what you mean...
Today is just one of those that I feel lost but I know tomorrow is another day with a new sunrise.
Don't worry about sounding complaining or sad there are very few places in this world were you can wander off without a mask on...enjoy it, no body is here to judge you, we like you just the way you are.
I couldn't agree with you more...I think it's very important to recharge!
