THE NEW ME....MOTHER OF TWO
I have not blogged in forever and it stays in the back of my mind. In this three month hiatis, I was blessed with a beautiful baby boy that I have enjoyed everyday. I will share many stories and pictures soon. I have so many topics that I want to write about and pictures and meals that I want to share that it is tremendously overwhelming. I have the tendency to procrastinate when I get overwhelmed. So I decided to stop folding laundry and reschedule the thank you notes I need to write (several weeks late) and sit down to blog. Not for long….but at least get started. I have many things on my mind these days. A newborn, a busy job, concerns about raising two kids, a meal schedule, a new budget for 2 kids. I wake everyday overwhelmed with what needs to get done and then the subtle pull of mommyhood reminding me to spend carefree time with each child. This is going to be a hard transition, but I am ready to meet and exceed the challenge. I know I will fail….. probably daily. I commit to doing my best to laugh it off and learn. I will do my best to share responsibility and also not get angry when I just have to do it all on my own. I have already asked for babysitting help more times in the 6 weeks of having two kids than I did in the entire two years with Landon. I have so much to learn and so much to enjoy. I can honestly say that the biggest challenge so far is simply staying sane. If I can go over 3 hours without tearing up over something sad, happy, unfortunate, wonderful, or annoying, I can count that as a success. It doesnt happen often.....maybe when I am fortunate enough to sleep 3 hours at I time. I hope to share much of my journey in this blog. My random kitchen will have a menu makeover as I search and experiment with serious quick meals. I am talking 15 minutes quick. Can it be done? I don't know. We will soon see.
