So, I used to be able to do stuff. And I don't just mean jumping on a trampoline without peeing my pants kind of stuff. I love my children so much, but I am quickly finding myself lost in a world of sticky fingers and runny noses, with dirt and other stuff between their toes-es. Again, to clarify, as much as I love the sticky stuff, I want to know where I lost my other passions along the way. Cause, beleive it or not, I was awesome. Oh yeah. I won't get into the long list of my awesomeness, so as not to intimidate, but I miss that stuff! And I was funny! As impossible as that might be to imagine, I remember being funny! And passionate and exciting and spontaneous. All adjectives that have been lost in my self made definition of "mom". Why? Why did I let them go, and can I get them back? I would not trade one second of my time with any of my kids for anything (okay, lets be honest. I would trade some of the potty training seconds for a peanut butter sandwich. And I hate peanut butter sandwiches) but I want them to know that their mom is not always a red eyed banshee who can do other things besides yell "Stop doing that." I want to mesh who I am with who I was. Is that even possible? Or would it just make one ugly, mushy peanut buttery sandwich. I could handle that, like I said, I love the sticky stuff.

Your awesomeness is still there! I bet you're probably just channeling it into being an awesome mommy right now. Eventually our kids will learn to pick their own toe jam and wipe their own butts!
I know what you mean, but you have more years on me of being a mom so you probably feel it even more. I would love time to be creative again, but find that I don't have the brain power, even if I did have the energy!
By the way, I didn't know you before, but I think you are awesomely awesome now!
I feel that way too! I'm glad that I am not the only one who feels "mommy tired" sometimes. You are doing a great job. I love your cute kids.
The funny thing for me is that I always want a break from being a mom, but when I'm away I want to get back cause I miss them.
I think you are still awesome! Being a great mother is a feat and your hobbies will come back. :)
