Somehow, just being mom is difficult for me. I can be a waitress, a teacher, a yoga instructor, anything. But just mom? It's funny, because I have huge respect for moms who stay home and raise their children. I want to stay home, go to play groups, and nurture my home. I want to be at all of my ds's soccer games. And I've tried it. What happened? I went to playgroups, and found myself talking about my dream to open Blessed Baby. I went to story time, and with the librarian out sick, I led us in story and song. I gather with moms and become the support person. (Read about Persistent Teacher Syndrome in my blogs.) And during my "free" time while I wasn't working, I opened the shop with the WAHM co-op.
Playgroup season is here again, and my goal is to go regularly, and become just mom. To find in other moms the support I need, too. To cure myself of PTS, and enjoy my time. Make new friends, and learn from them. And I'm sure I'll recruit some Mothers' Center members and Blessed Baby customers as well...just not on "mom" time!

It is so hard to just be mom! I'm home most of the day yet find myself spending less time interacting with Aiden than I would really like. The house is always a mess. When I get a second to relax, I'm still thinking about what I need to do, or some plan for the diaper service, or the store, or the Mother's Center...
Glad i'm not the only onw with all of this and a messy house, i'm so frustrated with wanteing to be a GOOD mom, GOOD wife, and still let my creative self live and thrive!
