I am a mom, I haven't been a mom for long (my amazing son is 2 years old) but somewhere during those amazing 2 years (or perhaps even the 9 months preparing for my little boy) I lost sight of myself. In becoming a Mom - I lost (ME). It took me a while to realize what had even happened. I started hating the person I had become. This was not how I envisioned "motherhood" I didn't plan on things being like that. Finally it hit me - I needed to find a happy medium, a balance between being a Mommy and being Me - I needed to become a Mom(ME).
This isn't about having a selfish idealistic picture of what motherhood should be like. It's simply reminding myself that its okay to still be the person I was b.c. (before child)
No, things obviously aren't going to be exactly the same as they were before my little Mr. Wonderful was born - and I would never want them to be that way BUT I didn't have to give it all up and so now I am reclaiming myself
here's to the adventure of becoming (ME) again.... enjoy the ride
