More Time For...

[applemom]

I think I would really love to have a little time for myself.  A time that I can feel like an adult...without all the extra titles.  I'm not the youth pastor's wife, or one of ky kids' mom, or the cook or the maid or (it feels like the zookeeper).  While I love being a mother and a wife and being able to stay home and take care of the kids, I would like to remember who I am.  I would like to be able to sit down and make a baby blanket or two.  I would love to sell some of my work (though I have no clue how to go about that).  But I don't even have the time for it, so it's one of those "maybe someday" things in my life.  I know we all have those.  I would love to be able to make blankets to sell.  I think I could make a fair amount doing that.  I just gotta stop having toddlers in the house first!  LOL  Maybe when the baby that's not even born yet starts school....but for now, I must settle back into being wife and mother.  I hold onto my dreams, but for now they remain just that, dreams.

Dec. 26, 2006 at 4:24 PM I completely understand how you feel.  I'm pretty content for this week, but there is a constant struggle I face trying to find myself and my value in this season of life.  I had such grand plans for myself and for a time thought I was on the track to that.  So this detour of life of doing dishes, laundry, hanging up jackets that have once again fallen off the hook, it not the excitement that I had in mind.  It must be for my benefit though.

You will someday be able to grab for your dreams. Now that my oldest is 22 and married. My soon to be 21 son who is working and my soon to be 16 and 9 year old are getting were they don't need me as much, I have been able to start up more of my crafts and painting.

It is nice to be able to reach for your dream and feel it at your fingertips. If I want to do a project on my own I do have to wait for my youngest is in school.I let my younger to use my old paints and I use my good paints.

Here's to your dreams and the love you have for life!
