Usually my days consist of feedings, housework, naps (take em' when I can get em'!), cooking, errands, and time to be with the family, but on Saturdays I have a little outlet of time for myself. I have hidden away in our office, browsing the web and looking more into this blogging ritual I've begun. I am relaxed, able to breathe, and 'one' with my computer.
I look forward to these days of peacefulness. No responsibilities, no To-Do Lists, just time to find myself again. Ever since I got married I have found that I push away little bits of who I am to meet the needs of my husband, my pets, and now my children. I've done this to myself, mainly and am starting to miss the little unique qualities that make me, me. It is necessary, I think, to give to oneself. What did I like to do before I became an 'adult'? I liked taking walks or running in the rain, going to the library and looking at books for hours which felt like only a moment, taking long naps in the day and waking up refreshed, hanging with friends and enjoying laughter, finding little adventures that life placed infront of me to ad to my many memories, and pursuing my dreams as a singer/songwriter in any creative venue I could. I don't want to lose these things that bring me much happiness. My wonderful husband completely understands and is so supportive. He understands how sacred these Saturdays are to me and I greatly appreciate it!
Hannah is growing so much. She is now wanting to feed herself her cereal in the morning. She takes the spoon away from me and confidently places it in her mouth perfectly, well sort of. She has so much to say about everything.
This new other little baby resting inside of me is growing and getting stronger and bigger. I know it is doing well because I haven't. lol. = ) The mornings are great and when I try to get my chores done, but when the afternoon rolls around it feels like I am no good to anybody. I get very tired, dizzy and nausious. I've been picky over the food I eat. I noticed yesterday that I needed to go to bed at 9:00pm. It was a tough decision because that's when all the good shows come on. = ) But I have to say that I do feel much better today than normal.
Well, I think I should continue this tomorrow. This has been a wonderful break for me.

I know what you mean about trying to find your identity again once you have kids. Thank goodness for husbands who realize the importance of "mommy time"!
That's so cool that Hannah is trying to feed herself. Syd still lets me spoon food into her mouth, but all finger foods she insists on putting in her mouth by herself. She gets so irritated when I try to put it in her mouth. They learn to form opinions pretty quickly, hmm?
I'm totally looking forward to Wednesday!

Also, we put an offer on the blue house with the white shutters by you. The one farther down the street that has grass in the front.
