Remembering who I am
Well I have had a hard time still remembering who I am. Im not talking about being a mom or wife. I am trying to remember who I am as an individual. It is very hard to get time for me. I try in the evenings and I will catch up on shows or read or do my nails. I dont remember what I did before I was a wife or mother. I dont regret being any of those I love it and feel like it was what I was suppose to do. What I am talking about is meeting with friends without kids or getting my hair done and nails and shopping by myself. I miss spoiling myself lol... I know my kids come first and I have no problem with that. In fact when I shop I always shop for them I love spoiling my kids like I was when I was young. I am trying to find a babysitter that lives close but having a hard time trusting anyone. I kinda miss being me, again I love my kids. I am trying to find a balance so there is still a me and I dont let me go and than when kids are in I dont know what or who I am. I was wondering if anyone could share advise on how they dont forget about themselves while being a wife and mother? Well kids are awake now so back to the duties lol

Hey Sam! I can totally understand what you mean, until recently I felt the same way. I knew I was looking for something, but had no idea what I was looking for. Initially I thought softball would fill the void, but realistically I just couldnt trade my time for coaching right now with the kids being so young.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, I have filled my void by helping others, and the best part is I completely do it around my family - when I can. I am living life with more of a purpose now and it feels so good, I am a better Mom & wife because of it.
I understand how you are feeling for sure, so my encouragement to you is maybe really dig deep to find your purpose, BEYOND BEING A MOTHER AND WIFE, it may take a while to find it, but its worth finding!
What fulfills you?
