Don't get me wrong, I love my family to the ends of the earth. They are the reason I wake every morning and drag myself out of bed. But I have recently stepped back and taken a look at my life, and well, there just isn't that much of it right now that is mine. In order to be a better wife and mother I think I need to nourish myself. I am sure it is a famous quote by someone but I don't know who and just don't feel like looking it up but I once heard that "You can't pour from an empty pitcher". Its so true.
I said all of that to say that is the reason I am doing this blog. I have no idea who will ever read it but the posting in itself will be good for me. A place to lay it all on the line. To be myself. To whine over what isn't right in my life and to celebrate every victory
Of course, the biggest part of me is the mother. So I am sure that a lot of this blog will revolve around my children and everything that comes with being a mother. Feel free to comment but not to criticize. I get enough of that in my daily life, don't need more here.

You are sooo right. You need to take care of yourself to take care of your kids. You work so hard, you really deserve some "me" time.
i was gonna say the same thing mandy said, take time for yourself hun ((hugs))
Thanks ladies, I'm trying.
Yes, we all need to continue to be individuals other than just "mom" and "wife". I'm glad you are writing a blog. I'll be here reading and commenting!
