Sinking in motherhood

[DeChRi]

This is total hormone post, so if anyone else has one to get out, do it here.

Totally hitting the point of sunk in motherhood. 11yo, 2yo, baby...quit my job in Sept...no end of maternity leave countdown to heels and suits and airport travel (for which I really am greatful)...I'm here covered in poop and spit up and fruit snack wrappers I continue letting my toddler consume cause I'm too beat to do anything about it. I wanna go to the get, get a brow wax, paint to toe nails, get some sun on my skin, have one more drink than is allowed at this point in breastfeeding.

I remember this point with my others...when you start to feel human again and are dying to do "normal" things, but things are soooo not normal.

I have brain atrophy and am slighly jealous of my hubby's rockin career right now.

Wouldn't trade being home for anything, but today's wave of hormones is a headgame for me.

However, my baby smells super good. :-)

This is why I'm so grateful for my flexible job...start telecommuting, as many hours as I see fit, next week. And I'm excited for it.
I've been reading my emails and following office gossip through my sister (whom I normally share an office with at work).

I was consulting until a couple months ago, which was great. However it morphed into another life-sucking million hour commitment.

I'm considering re-upping my personal training cert, just to be able to have something to use my brain that is not motherhood related.

I'm taking a college type course as we speak. It is an artistic outlet, makes me think, builds my skills, and may lead to a new business venture on down the line. All done while nursing.

Its keeping up withn my older boys that is a challenge.
