Me Time.

Since I have become a mama of two, I take me time to a whole different level. It isn't about partying with "friends" or going out and spending money I don't have. It's about silence. What? What is silence. I don't get that around here. Usually if one is crying, the other is screaming. Hallie is a go getter. From sun up till sun down, these kids (especially Hallie) wear me slap out! Don't get me wrong, I love being a mom. And two is always better than one. More kisses. More snuggles. More hugs. More "I love you's". More irreplaceable milestones. I am grateful. Overjoyed. But...I spend 95% of my time talking to a 5 month old and 3 year old. I rarely, VERY RARELY, get time away. This is by choice for the most part. But time alone is nice. Talking to other adults without the kiddos around is nice. I really need to make new friends. As much as I hate to admit it, it needs to happen. I need to make mommy friends. The kind of mommy friends who I can relate to, at least. For right now, my alone time usually consists of devotion in the morning, baths at night, church on Sunday, and....oh wait, that's it. I really need to get out and be sociable with other adults other than my husband. It's so hard to get wrapped up in life though. The laundry and dishes never end. But without dirty laundry, we couldn't have clean clothes. And without dirty dishes, we wouldn't have food on the table. So even when I get tired of doing chores over and over again, I quickly remind myself of how much we have. And how little we don't have. We are blessed. I love my family. I'll get my me time. In 20 something years from now. But for now, I'll keep doing what I do. Because being a mama to my little ones is what I'm best at.

On another note. Today was beautiful. We soaked up some sunshine, and it was priceless. Posting pics tomorrow. ☺️
