Lost

Lately I've been feeling a little lost. There's nothing like having a kid that teaches you that it's not all about you. I can't speak for moms with jobs, but I know I've heard from other stay at home moms, that you tend to loose yourself. Suddenly your life is about your kid, and caring for and accommodating them. Any hopes, dreams, and desires you once had, tend to be put on the shelf.

Once upon a time I was myself. I used to read scifi/fantasy novels all day, and build my Lego sets. Go to Target just to shop, go to movies with my friends.  I spent ten years in retail because I didn't really know what I wanted to do with my life. I interviewed a lot of options since I graduated high school, marine biologist, sign language interpreter, veterinary technician. But really what I've always wanted to do is just stay home with my babies.

So I'm starting this as a spot to be myself. To talk about me, and not just my kid. To put my thoughts and ideas down, because I have a lot of them, but they really have no place in my other blog (about the kid.) I'm hoping maybe I can find myself a little bit.
