This morning I am up a little early drinking my coffee alone and enjoying a moment by myself. Reading my blogs I came across a couple of moms that talked about how having children caused them to "stop living their lives" and how they are going to "fix" that. I don't understand. What is wrong with living your life with your children as the focus? So what if its hard to go on a date every week with your hunny. There are other ways to stay connected.
I do think its important to stay connected to your partner and to not completely lose yourself because one day your kids will grow up and leave. But you don't get to keep them that long. I have no problem with the fact that this weekend is going to be the first time in over 2 years that Sean and I have spent the night alone together. And it doesn't bother me that it will almost certainly be a year, possibly more before we are able to do it again.
Maybe it's because since I was 12 I've wanted to have kids. And because they grow too fast. Or because I am done having babies.
All I know is that I love how becoming a mom has changed me. And it makes me sad to think that not everyone feels that way.
