Life is strange

[shaylas_mama]

Here recently I have been sitting at home with my wonderful daughter Shayla and wonder why I dont have the drive to leave the house or do much really. Life is strange because I dont feel like myself anymore. I notice that I have that strange feeling of "who am I" I never did before I just was me, now I dont know if I am still myself. I feel as if I have changed in some wierd way without me really knowing how or why. Is it motherhood or is it just because I am getting older and becoming a dry person that I never was before and never thought that I would become. I dont like the person that I have become, I am trying to change but dont know if I can on my own.

I love being a wife and mother, I was born to be both thats not whats wrong. I love my Shayla-bug dearly and my husband John is the best and dont desevere him at all.

We all have changes in our lives that make us question who we are today as opposed to - yesterday, last month, last year, etc.... sometimes they are changes for the better, sometimes not - sometimes they are just...different than what "the norm" was before.

But one thing is for sure - NEVER say that you dont deserve something good and postitve that is in your life. Considder it a blessing and be thankful for it!

Apr. 5, 2008 at 8:59 PM Hey don't worry your not alone when i had my first daughter i went through this, i'm usually a very active person always on the go always with a project on the go and my career was always very important to me then comes baby and all hell breaks loose. How do you be a mother a sexy wife and still make sure  you  have some time to yourself? I hardly get to pee by myself these days.lol. It does change over time unfortunately all us women have raging hormones that never seem to settle down so one minute were great the next were wondering where life has lead us and are we on the right road. I still don't know the answer to any of these questions but i think as we get older it becomes alittle bit easier for us to be comfortable in our own skin. I just turned 28 and i have to say that i diffently feel more comfortable with who i am but whos to say that in another year when my son turns a year (hes 5mth old now) I will be satisfied with where iam at. I think the thing is that you always need to have something that is just yours. I'm a hairstylist and makeup artist so i always keep my hand in it even though iam on maternity leave now .That is what defines me , you have to figure out what defines you and dont give that up, you deserve to have alittle for yourself too, even if its just picking up a new hobbie and being out of the house once a week! Hope that helps!
