I often wonder why I'm so 'scared' do to the things I want to do. It's not like they are earth shattering or dangerous. If they arent dangerous or anything then why am I scared? What is stopping me from doing them? well, money for one. Why spend that money on me when I can spend it on my kids, or husband? I'm happy without all those things. Sure, doing those things would make me happy too, but I'm already happy. make sense? It's frankly quite crazy if you ask me. The fact that I havent gotten up the nerve to do those things yet. Secondly, time. I'm busy from 6am until 8pm with kids, cleaning, laundry, ect. Then I choose to spend the time from 8-whenever we go to bed, with my husband, and don't get me wrong, I WANT to spend that time with him. Theres nothing more I love than being with my husband.
I think this blog should be titled "The journey of one Stay at home mom trying to find herself again" lol
maybe next weekend I'll go get red highlights in my hair. maybe. we'll see.

I used to go tanning all the time when I was in High School and since then not 1 time. Well I did get a spray tan once but that doesnt count in my books. I think all SAHM's struggle to find themselves time and again over the years. We have to constantly evolve to go with the flow of our families busy lives and that usually means we get put on the back burner, but then our kids do something amazing and it makes it all worth it.
