1/8/2011: Funny things are happening in 2011. Like, time is shifting. My usual daylight hours days are gone. Now I sleep when I can, sometimes going to bed after 11pm, staying up late to do the things that take two hands. Then, I’m up before dawn, compelled to get up and do things like fold laundry, sip coffee, tidy up the living room.
I say “tidy up” the living room because it feels so housewife. Being a Mom of two is interesting. When you first become a Mom, it’s not the day you give birth necessarily. It takes time to sink in. It takes months of adjustment and struggle. It’s difficult to give up your old ways and routines. It’s painful even.
When the second baby comes along it’s different. You’re already used to doing less for you and more for others. But now there’s even less time for you. It’s hard to carve out time and space to be yourself. And knowing who you really are- well, that’s hard to say.
I feel like I’m being negative. But really I like to think I’m a glass half full kind of gal. It’s not bad. Just different. I love being a Mom of 2. It’s also fun to see how it’s shaping and changing Miles. See?! I did it again- I was talking about me, but then I went to Miles...Oh, Ivy just woke up so I guess my too early morning musings and ramblings are done for now. Maybe I can go back to sleep before everyone wakes up.
