Do you ever feel just plain BORING???

[brandyj]

 Lately I've just been feeling so... plain.  I have about 20 extra pounds, 2 young children, and a hubby that works hard and comes home tired.  I have to squeeze showers into naptime, and I'm never really alone.  I don't feel like I ever get to really relax, and by the evening when the kids are in bed, I'm exhausted.  I feel like I've lost who I was before I was "wife" and "mommy".

Sometimes I just want some FREEDOM...y'know? I love my kids, it's just that I'm solely responsible for them.  My DH can't handle more than an hour alone with them. 
I miss being a size 4... I miss dancing... and most of all, I miss feeling SEXY.  I miss being spontaneous...everything has to be planned these days.
 

**SIGH**

I'm in such a rut right now. What do you ladies do when you feel frumpy??

Oh my goodness.  You poor thing. 

it's hard, when the kids depend on you for everything.  Believe me, it gets better as they get older.  I started to feel better about myself the more they could depend on themselves.

maybe now you can play some baby einstein for 30 minutes of peace and stick them in the stroller and take a walk around the block for endorphines.

yep I feel that exact way sometimes.  I try and get out for a walk and some fresh air which usually seems to clear my head a little.  Is there a way you could get a babysitter so you and your hubby could go out or you go get a manicure or massage or something.  It really is the little things that help a lot.
