Which is kinda what I wrote in my post today. :)<br /><br />It's really hard...this balance of being a mother, a wife and then wondering if you want to do more, be more, see more. I totally get it.<br /><br />You are an amazing writer and I've loved looking back at your old posts. I've really resonated with every single one of them and I read something and think, 'She sounds JUST like me!!' True story. So thank you. That might sound odd, but it's nice to know I'm not alone. Even if we don't know each other. ;)Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302085362576720946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302211055226356439.post-38836561942931652602010-08-06T12:15:26.832-07:002010-08-06T12:15:26.832-07:00Hi Laina - I think it is good you are having these...Hi Laina - I think it is good you are having these thoughts. For me right now being SAHM is just fine, but I had so many years to go and do all that I thought I wanted to in life. I think it is perfectly natural if you have children at a young age to wonder what will come next and by the way I am wondering the same thing too and know that once my daughter starts school two years from now I need to have a plan, things I am going to do as I don't want to be stuck at home all day.One Photohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05793386254564806126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302211055226356439.post-79005692371964450242010-08-06T10:53:31.376-07:002010-08-06T10:53:31.376-07:00I understand.

Now I barely leave the house, get out of my jammas, or do anything remotely interesting. Come to think of it...How in the crap do I write a blog? lol<br />I am hoping this is just a stage for me!

Gr...I would say my life has been a mixture of both. Growing up I played it safe. Mostly in part due to my parents. I was given rules and goals. I followed them and achieved what I needed to. But then I hit my rebellious age (rather late I might add) during college and post. That part of my life was definitely all about risk taking. I loved every minute of it!!! And I was loved FOR it. Then I found my prince charming and grew an insta-family. Long were the days of chaos and throwing caution to the wind. As mothers, something in us changes. We have a need to protect, thus we become women of habit and routine. Not for us, for them. But deep down inside lurks the risk taker in us all dying to get out mountains-to-climbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12593442938301498409noreply@blogger.com
