Well where do I start. I have never blogged before, I have never even kept a journal before, this experience of writing down all of my thoughts is completely new to me and a little scary. But, this is the whole purpose of my blog. I am challenging myself to try one new thing a week. I am a mother of two, one 2.5 year old and one 3 months, and although I love my kids and family I feel I am getting a little lost in my "mommy" identity.
Having a second child was a lot more challenging than I ever expected, and all of my energy went in to this new adjustment. My daughter is wonderful, such a mild mannered and happy baby. She still sleeps most of the day and night, she is a dream. My son is and always has been full of energy and needs constant stimulation and support, he is such a sensitive little boy. I love them both and my husband is wonderful, a hands on dad, but this seems to be my world these days. I don't have a single other interest or hobby.
I find myself without a voice in conversations, I have nothing to contribute unless it is about the kids and how many poops they have had, how long was their nap, or about what they ate. I find myself searching for intelligent things to say, and to even find the right words is difficult and embarrassing at the least.
That is why I am here, my first challenge is to start a blog to record all of my thougths and my challenges. Hoping it will give me something to talk about.
