I love motherhood! It has been the greatest, most challenging adventure of my life. Not that my life was terribly boring or anything before, but nothing and I mean nothing could compare me for all the wonders of this chapter in my life. I am loving it, sometimes I just wish I could live it solely without all the other things in life that invariably try to run me off course!
Whenever I have thought that nothing else could go wrong, it often has. I have learned that patience and flexibility are the key elements for a mom, but as a reformed Type A person this hasn't been easy to come by. My attention to detail, crossing numerous things off my to do lists and crawling into bed early (so I can get up early...refreshed!) are truly a thing of the past. I don't always mind this, but sometimes I wish I could blend my former life and my new one a bit more, but there simply isn't enough time in the day.
I am learning that boundaries or as I affectionately refer to them now thanks to a friend are protective parameters are making my ability to get things done a bit easier, I am glad I have learned this technique now in my early (almost mid-30's), but it has not been an enjoyable experience for me. It has taught me to be assertive and passionate about what my priorities are, not what other people want my priorities to be.
Regardless, this journey of motherhood has been a crazy fun one and I am glad that the ride has been fun so far and I look forward to the rest of the journey, I hope you are too!
