There is never enough time! I am a typical working mom I guess you could say...I work 7-4 and then come home and keep working. I must admit, as much stuff as I have to do when I get home...all I really want to do is get on the floor and roll around with my 6 month old son. My husband loves to make what he calls a "baby sandwich"....it's where we are on both sides of the baby and he just talks to us...I love it. Funny that no matter how many emails, calls and meetings I have each day....no matter how far behind I always am....I get home and I just can't think of any of that.
A little mom confession is that every single day, I feel like I failed at something. My son goes to sleep at 8:00, I get home around 5:00, make dinner, get bottles ready, pack lunches, have a little family time and before you know it, it's bath time, then time for bed. Time for bed?! I still have cleaning and filing to do...I am just perfectly unorganized. If I could only get seven more hours every single day.....
I don't need additional hours at work, I just need more hours with my family.
I took 12 weeks off after having my son. Month one--a complete blur, not really sure if I was coming or going, and I am not shame to admit that I had a little postpartum something....not sure if it was blues or depression, but it was something. Month two--not as tough, finally left the house. Nursing was a little easier by month two. Month three--Anxiety sets in, I have to go back to work...staying at home wasn't an option for us. Where did the time go....maternity leave should be at least one year...seriously!!!! I don't play the lottery but I played a few times before going back to work.
More times than not, my blogs will be done when I put our son to sleep. It will be a way for me to just unload my thoughts, struggles and walk through the journey of motherhood.
More time is wishful thinking...it's time to lean on the Creator of time!
