I came to check out your blog. My kids are teenagers now and I'm past this baby stage, but I remember it all too well! This post about losing yourself in mommy-hood is actually a theme that has been a big part of my life the last couple of years. Now that my kids are older and I have more time for myself, I am only now rediscovering who I am again! You are wise to consider this now, and with your husband's help and blessing, take care to continue to include in your life, the things that make you happy. Like doing this blog! If you begin now, you lessen the risk of truly "losing" yourself in motherhood. I know you can do it and I wish you luck!Michael Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17070442945458114572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670299088597355474.post-74684025842746155242011-08-18T10:36:30.395-06:002011-08-18T10:36:30.395-06:00Thanks for the comments!

Often times when I hear of a big news event, I'm wondering "where the heck have I been?". <br />Great post :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17940118384108153753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670299088597355474.post-51818022613889427232011-08-16T10:50:51.121-06:002011-08-16T10:50:51.121-06:00When I got my 200 Hour Teacher Certification the t...When I got my 200 Hour Teacher Certification the topic of balance was stessed a lot. Not just in a physical sense. I think the trick in life in general is to find balance. What makes it more complicated for parents is that we are finding a balance not just for us, but for our kids lives as well and I definately agree with you. It's not easy at all!

I wonder every day where the time goes. I'm a lot like you too--I spend so much time on "kid stuff" that I have no idea what is going on in the adult world. I didn't realize how little time I would have. I'm trying hard to find some sort of balance. It's not easy at all!Rach (DonutsMama)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14029074046922966097noreply@blogger.com
