Ok, so here I am, doing something I NEVER thought I would do....blog! I am not a ludite, by any means, just never considered my life to revolve around the newest stylings of technology. But I digress. The reason I am here is to vent, chat, ask and consider questions, problems, answers and musings of those of my species....stay at home mothers.
We are a different breed, you and I. I mean, I kew this lifestyle would change me...really change me. But man, it's CHANGED me! Moments of peace, quiet, solitude and reflection are gone. And of course I knew all of this would happen. But when it comes rolling at you like bullet train late for its next stop, it really packs a punch.
So I am writing about it and I want you to, too. I want this to be a safe haven, a refuge, if you will, to rant, cry, and compare notes on all the things that happen to you in your day. Things you like AND hate. No judgement! So I'll start.......
Today I can't say I like who I've become. I don't know if I ever really liked myself if I am to be completely honest. I was never one of those people comforatble in her own skin. But the amount of times I feel compelled to yell at my 4-year old drives me to wonder just exactly how many days of therapy will she be in?!?! And my 1-year old gets to hear this shrew of a woman that he will be modeling all other women to as the ideal mate? Seriously....too much pressure. I could go on for days, and I certainly hope this won't turn completely into a boo hoo poor me (and by me, I mean ME, not you) site. I know I have it better than most because I get to stay home with them, watch them grow and do seriously funny things. But I can't help but question the universe's choice in extending me a parenting license not once, not twice, but by July, three times! So help me out ladies and gents who are questioning where they went and who was left in their place. Send me a line...let me know how you feel about things. Let's figure this stuff out together!
