bal*ance
-a stable mental or psychological state, emotional stability in equal parts of life
how does one find balance? how does a mother find balance? balance between taking good care of her children, teaching them, comforting them, being ... mommy... YET find time for yourself. i am talking a few hours. .. a few hours in the day... where you arent worried about bottle washing or laundry folding..
sometimes when the kids go to bed i dont know what to do with myself. i am rushing around doing meaningless things... i cant sleep. and when i do i wake up at least twice a night with one of the kids. and then its up at 8am.. for the day....
i think i have been use to being selfish with my time... and motherhood changes that. motherhood makes you selfless with your time.. to the point that you forget that adults need a few moments for themselves.. to keep sane. to keep happy. to keep normal.
now...... how... do you find this balance... ..
over the last 5 years i have really had a hard time finding my personality again..i have had a hard time remembering things that made me happy once. i have had a hard time finding things i am good at or finding hobbies that i like. .. ............. im working on it.
i think i will be doing more KIM blogging..
and keep looking for advice from other mommy's
and keep enjoying the things that do make me immensely happy.. like being a mom..
but still searching for that balance

Amen :)
I'm still trying to do this myself, so I have no advice except that I feel great after going on a walk by myself when the kids are asleep or being watched by Judd. Something about fresh air and peace and quiet just does it for me.
p.s. your two kids are super cute!
Oh please when you figure this out post and let me know because I majorly struggle with this. Or even the balance between wife and mom! I think my husband thinks I have been lost in the baby abiss never to return without PJ and spitup. HAHA
yay for more blogging of any kind :) i like the mommy blogging too!
yes, please do tell if you find out the secret to balance in life!
i try to achieve it by putting serena to bed, popping in a good "bonnet movie", and soaking my feet.
