We all have interests in addition to being mothers and wives, etc. It is hard to cultivate them when we don't have a lot of extra time at the end of the day. An older, wiser lady I used to work with used to say that there will be lots of time for other things when the children are older, etc. Of course, that doesn't help now when Mom needs a break and some "me" time. I guess we just need to schedule it and make it happen. :o)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16210603109550980818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147659069054705568.post-62343604111185933162008-07-29T15:25:00.000-04:002008-07-29T15:25:00.000-04:00Karen, i think you are right.

I would like to be able to carve out some me time, but when i do, i don't know what it is that interest me if not my children. I guess that is what i mean. I guess it also goes along with being a mom. That IS who we are and that is not a bad thing. I just want to have something to talk about when the kids are not with me. If i figure out these other superwomen, i will def. share. I would be a rich rich woman!!35 and holdinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08829603295499554191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147659069054705568.post-65911301094147967452008-07-28T23:19:00.000-04:002008-07-28T23:19:00.000-04:00P.S.

I think we all do, right? So pouring my heart and soul into my family is something I enjoy doing. Many "mom blogs" are created to specifically write about and document stages in children's lives and to keep far-away family up-to-date on family happenings. To me, that's part of their purpose. When I worked outside of the home, I talked about my job all the time ... so why wouldn't I talk about my stay-at-home job all the time? I don't know if this is coming across the right way ... but maybe you understand the idea of what I am trying to get across. (I'm tired, so if this doesn't make sense ... disregard. LOL!) So ... being a mother is a big part of my identity now, and it will be for the rest of my life--just like being a wife is ... and being a Christian is. I don't think we lose our identities necessarily ... they just shift and change--as they will continue to do for the rest of our lives. However, I do think my relationship with God should come first ... and then my relationship with my husband. :o) Sorry this is turning into the longest blog comment ever. I am rambling. :o) Thanks for getting me thinking.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16210603109550980818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147659069054705568.post-82171313613091042292008-07-25T22:15:00.000-04:002008-07-25T22:15:00.000-04:00Girl, you crack me up.
