So here is what is up with my life... I am a 24-7 mommy who gets little sleep, changes lots of mustard colored poops, gets eye boogers dislodged daily, needs to lift weights to be strong enough to carry a car seat and a diaper bag, feeds the baby 6 times a day and at 2 pm wonder why I haven't eaten, and gets spit up on at least 17 times a day (exaggeration).
Its not just all eye boogers and poop, there are significant perks...
you know, smiles and giggles and uncommonly loud toots for a person a mere 13 pounds.
Have you ever lost yourself in something even if it is a good something?
I easily loose myself in mommyhood. Its a lot of hard loving work and occasionally I forget about ..me.
Eden has been napping for almost 3 hours right now....
Her usual naps normally last 20 min... and I don't know what to do with myself. I had just been filling the space with random unimportant activity waiting for her to suddenly wake when I decided I should paint my nails... still significantly unimportant but at least I'll feel like I did something for me.
OH, and earlier, I DID put on makeup (See). Yup, its true. But, my pajamas ARE still on...

does that negate the makeup?
You see my problem????

crap its snowing! so funny! make up is a major achievement even for someone as vain as me....
Sounds pretty normal! Haha I do have to say though that I get very good sleep at night but for some reason I am still so tired. On the days that I don't work I am lucky if I get a shower and put sweats back on. We should go to lunch sometime and catch up! It has been way too long!
how funny! so glad i have your blog now..
I feel ya on the short naps... how nice to get a long one! Rajko improved as he got older. Good luck with your precious princess. Your mommyness sounds just about right to me. :)
I think all of the mommies of the world can relate....but hey-MAKEUP that's good stuff...funny how unimportant it seems now-huh? Well, all I can say is that at some point it WILL stop snowing and u WILL find ur own little schedule and it WILL include leaving the house everyday!!! It just depends on what ur willing to do/put into it and it takes time...don't worry, jammies are a mom's best friend-and makeup well that's just icing on the cake!
Our lives are so different, yet I see so many similarities. You are the cutest mom. And a good mommy too!
it was so fun hanging out yesterday. i am still not satisfied though, we really REALLy need a craft day. let's pick one... i will try to email you that picture tomorrow.
Boy, does that sound familiar! I often think of all the things I'd like to accomplish, but I'm kinda lost in being a stay at home mom of 2 crazy/fun...kids. The hardest part is making yourself a priority every once in a while, doing what you love to do. Easier said than done, but it is true. After I take some time out for myself, I come back more focused, motivated to do better,more patient, loving, and compassionate. Find a babysitter and go get a pedicure, or go to lunch with a friend/or Brent...and by taking/needing a break, that doesn't mean you don't love and want to be with Eden. It just means you love and want to take car of her mom too :) Wow, that was lengthy...maybe I should take my own advice ;)
I know how you feel. One thing that helps me is if I get up in the mornings before Elizabeth does and take time to exercise and shower and stuff. When I do that, I feel like I'm still me, and not just a mommy.
Is it sad that I don't have a child and can never seem to manage to put the makeup on???
You look gorgeous btw. Loves xoxo
This post made me feel a lot better today...I'd been feeling bad about not working out and eating healthy...not to mention wearing pj's everyday. Plus obsessing over the smallest accomplishments of my 4 cute kids while completely forgetting that maybe I should work on some of my own as well. But isn't teaching 3 little speckled frogs and choreographing a dance to it involving Ashlynn's star leap from the couch, Taidan's near neck-breaking dive from the couch, and Brynlee's pretty much just sitting down and sliding off performance quite an accomplishment when you count that I not only nursed the entire time, but I also managed to keep the little stars from fighting and we pulled off the performance with rave reviews from the audience of 1 very biased daddy...well, thanks for reminding me that it's ok to get lost in mommy-hood, because it's a messy job (eg. mustard poo and eye boogers) but someone's got to do it ;)and I love the job...most days
