...and other grievances.
Yes, it's true. This happened with my first baby as well. It seems that the hormones involved with my ability to breast feed mess with my ability to have a full head of hair. Every morning I throw out a rather large hairball, and throughout the day I spread hair strands over the whole house. I worry about 2 things. One, the vacuum will probably get clogged. Two, I may go bald. No joke! It is so easy to see my scalp right now.
The down side - I'm too tired to even want to find a solution or explanation.
The up side - My husband and babies will still love me when I'm bald (I asked them).
Almost everyday I think it would be nice to have some "me" time. When things are quiet and I don't have the nagging thought of "I should be napping right now". Motherhood is really the most selfless profession I can think of, whether you want it to be or not. I wonder where my "self" went? To be honest, I am learning that there ARE moments in a day that I can call my own. Ten minutes of reading, or even having a "girly" movie playing in the background has been helping me feel like...me. My problem now is that I often don't know how to spend these moments wisely. Prioritizing has never been my strong spot.
I've decided to Home School our children...I think. I know they won't be school age for awhile longer, but I figure if I'm going to do this I need as much time as I can get to "prepare" (which basically means to build my courage up). I should say this something "WE" are going to do. My husband already thinks this is a good idea and I hope he knows that this means he will need to take a huge interest in the endeavor. However, I know that as the mom I will be in charge of the lions share (hence my hesitation). I would love some positive comments on this, if any are to be had.
There are "things" to be done. Lots of things. And I don't want to do them. But I do them anyway. Growing up my mom would tell us that we needed to do at least one thing each day that we didn't want to do. Something about how it would prepare us for adulthood.... I hope I can one day qualify for the "Mothers Are Always Right" club.
I think my advice (to myself, and anyone who wants to listen) is to make sure you do at least one thing each day that you DO want to do. Sound good?

I have to help with what in the home schooling part? If it's art then we are all set. If it's any thing else the kids will be in trouble.
My hair falls out all the time-whether pregnant, breastfeeding or toddler. We can be bald together.
