Just Call Me Mama

Welcome to my blog and the inner-workings of my brain. This is my method of coping with my life: the losses, the joys and my struggle back to being a writer. You'll find my most private thoughts as well as my most recent attempts at writing again. Enjoy and feel free to share your thoughts with me.

A Dreary Kind of day.

Do you ever question your own sanity?

First, I have baby fever. Kara's not a little baby anymore and with all the girls and my sil having these new babies around, I'm wanting another. AM I INSANE? I can barely survive with these two. I know one now isn't in the cards, but I have to say that I'm really wanting two more... in a year or two. Does that make me crazy? J's big argument against it is that I'd have to work and we couldn't give 4 the life we are giving these two girls. :-( I still want two more. I'm nuts!

Second, we're now on a pretty routine nap schedule where both girls go down at 1:00. So here it is at 2:30, I want to do nothing but snuggle Kara. I'm so used to having some alone time in which we get to snuggle and now I don't have it. In fact, we now have NO alone time with either girl. They both get up about the same time, nap at the same time, but Kara goes down a few minutes before Jana, so I guess we get about 15 minutes with Jana alone. I actually have this strong desire to go wake Kara up so I can snuggle. Am I crazy?

I'm a rather ucky mood today. I'm feeling ucky in my own skin and feeling rather unhappy. I'm tired of living on such a tight budget. I'm tired of living on such a tight diet. I want to go buy myself something, not because I need it, but because I want it. And I want to go eat something and not feel guilty and remorseful about it.... but I'm also so tired of feeling fat.

But, I need to remember the happy things.

Arianna is adorable - we finally got to see pictures last night.
I was able to work out today and make it to LAWL to weigh in. (and I did lose a pound and a half, even though I was sad it was just that much.)
My girls are wonderful.
Dinner is cooking away in the crock pot.
Our TV is finally fixed.
We get to go see Arianna this weekend.
The sweet sound of little baby breathing through the monitor is making me want to go grab my baby and snuggle her warm, sweet-smelling body and kiss those soft baby cheeks.

it must be hard to not have any individual time with Kara and Jana. I will tell you I have gone into Adam's room many nights and just sat on his bed rubbing his sweet head because with a newborn I miss spending time with just him as well. Sorry you are feeling ucky sweetie. Sending you love and hugs always!
