I really am trying!

I really am trying to post, but I feel like I've run out of things to post about, I guess. Maybe it's because I just feel so stuck recently. Ethan is 15 months old now, and is such a great little kid. But I really don't get any time at all for me. The last time I was by myself was a doctor appointment (read 30 minutes). I keep thinking longingly about when I was younger, and I could do what the heck I wanted, within constrictions of course.

When we are kids, we believe that things will be awesome when we're grown up. We will eat all the ice cream in the world, stay up until 6am, and play video games all the time. Then you grow up and it hits you, this crap has consequences! Growing up is really just the realization that your actions affect others and yourself (it seems). If I eat all the ice cream I want, I will be fat and unhealthy. Same goes for playing video games all day, who has the time for that anyways! Staying up until 6 is no longer a possibility because you're out by 9. 9PM.

That was a bit of a tangent but it's true. I hope Ethan enjoys his childhood and doesn't take it for granted like I did (who am I kidding, he will, like every child does). Right now, all I want is a great massage, a shopping day, a night on the town, heck a biology class would be welcome! I am starting to feel under stimulated and I need to find some solutions that are easy on the wallet, who has any ideas?! I'm going to do some major brainstorming about this blog. I want it to be my outlet, but everyone will probably agree that if nobody reads its it's nothing more than a horrible diary. I like feedback, and comments, and opinions. I don't want to be top mommy blogger of the year or anything like that. But I would like to stimulate the reader and me in the same throw. Any ideas on that either? Halp!

Hi, Nila

I am a mom of a 4 yrs old and a 15 yr. old and let me tell you that is work. Being a mom, homemaker, wife and so on is work. Its not easy, but I have learned over time, I need to take 1 day a week to myself. I will meet with friends for coffee, I picked up a boxing class at my locate recreation center and the cost was cheap. I will go window shopping, Good Will or even get up early on Saturday morning and hitting some yard sales. The point is take 1 day or night for yourself and don't feel bad about doing it. This is your mental break. I love to sit at the book store and take a stack of magazines or books (and coffee too) and that really helps me. You are in a rut and it sound like you don't get out much. I hope this helps Nila.

"Growing up is really just the realization that your actions affect others and yourself (it seems)." So true! Keep writing!
