I originally started this blog to log my new adventure into vegan eating thinking it was going to be a difficult ride. I really had no problem adjusting the the new diet and actually enjoy it. I feel more connected to the food I am eating and make more conscience decisions....I have also lost 15 lbs (can't complain).
My newest dilemma is my status as SAHM. I have been staying at home since 2007 after the birth of my first child. 4 years later, I am getting ancy. I guess I have the SAHM four year itch (is there such a thing?)
With an almost four year old, and an 18 month old boys, I am beginning to loose my mind. My days are long and I am getting stressed and upset more days than not.....has the nurture left me? My patience, which was once excellent, is now getting shorter. Some days I feel like I just want to do something....not quite sure what though.
I still do things: tutor at night after the kids go to bed, I've started up my own little business Colby Creations, and I irish step dance.
So I do have somewhat of "a life" outside of my mommyness.
Today, I was trying to look through a magazine while "trying" to get 60 seconds of peace in the bathroom and I came across an article (no time to read it..... I have become increasingly good at getting the gist of things by just looking at a picture and a headliner) and the two moms in it had started a little non-profit org helping out other families in the community. It got me thinking.....about nothing really specific except that I really wanted something else for me.
I am now going to document how I feel about my SAHM adventure daily......assuming I have time to write and maybe I can figure things out.
