Baby steps in big girl shoes

Time has gotten away from me yet again! I have more of it now that my babysitting days are over and I have some time to myself! For the first time in 16 years I do not have a child under the age of five to care for. While I wouldn't trade a minute of those years, it is strange but nice to not have Treehouse TV on in the background, and be able to speak in a grown up voice all day! I will miss the smell of baby things, the squeeze of a little hand in mine, and the sound of a little one breathing softly after I have rocked them to sleep. I have so many wonderful moments I have been able to share in and I have loved them all like they were my own. But now it's time for me to figure out who I am going to be. I hope to spend more time creating projects that bring joy to others, learn to walk, and stay on the path that I have strayed from over the past few years, and learn a little bit about who I am as a person. Some people say that being a SAHM must be easy, no deadlines, no bosses, etc. But really I've been a SAHM to other children including my own for so long, that I have lost myself. While helping all those wonderful children grow, I kind of forgot to keep growing myself! I'm going to take baby steps in my big girl shoes! First step, get this house in order! Some moms can work out of the home, that just didn't fly for this family! Second step will be getting into my craft room and start on my Christmas ideas! Can't wait to share them!
