Over the past few weeks I have noticed something that is disturbing. I have become so caught up in being mom and wife that I have almost completely forgotten who I am as a person. If someone asks me something that's not related to Lance or our kids I practically draw a blank. Example - This past Christmas my mother in law (who I am so blessed to have as family) asked me what I wanted for Christmas. Immediately I started telling her that our oldest needed a new pair of shoes, clothes for Sophia (our youngest), just general stuff for the kids. She stopped me and asked what I wanted for Christmas, UM? It took me two days to come up with a list, a very small list. If it keeps going like this I won't have any idea who I am separate from my husband and kids, to be honest that completely terrifies me. I'll wake up one morning and be like a weird soccer mom robot!!!!
So, in effort to get me back I have started to compile a list, Things I like, don't like, values, ect...
Top 10 Things That I Like
1 - COFFEE - Hey I'm mom to a two year old and a four month old, honestly I need like an I.V or something!
2 - Summer rain storms - Not like the really big ones with winds strong enough to knock your trees down, but the ones that last just long enough so that when they are over the air smells of country and rain and all things alive.
3 - Historical Romance Novels - I'm a sucker for this kind of thing, there's a part of me that just wants to be swept away.
4 - Long hot showers - the kind that steam up the whole bathroom!!!
5 - Legos - Ok, so maybe it's not the "adult" thing, but really what's not awesome about Legos?
6 - Wall Murals - I'm in the process of renovating the inside of my house and I fully intend it to be really cool!!!
7 - Animals - Not just the normal cats and dogs, I love all animals (ok, maybe not spiders)
8 - Did I mention Coffee? Ok, well then 8 has to be Cooking, I love to be able to make something and then watch the faces of the people eating whatever I've concocted.
9 - The Sea - she has so many moods
10 - Letters - I mean the "old fashioned" handwritten, snail mail type.
