I have currently had a bit of a brake down. I think that the lack of sleep may have got its best of me. I just want to feel human and most days now I have not been. I feel that I am living someone elses life for them, I am not in sync with my own mind and spirit and its a bit upsetting to me. I want so badly to do well and please everyone, but I know that its not possible to do that. Being a mother is a absolute blessing and I would never want my life to not involve them, but here are a few things that I still wish that was part of my life. Showers in the morning and not before I attempt to make it to bed at 2am. I would love to get clothes on, not sweats that I was wearing the day before that are full of spit-up and god knows what else, to do my hair and put make up on my face and feel pretty by the time that my husband gets home. I just don't know where these simple things went in my life. A friend and I were talking about this the other day, we didn't realize how much we think of ourselves last. In order for me to be a great mother I think that I do need to start thinking of myself, taking those small things in the day that I need. So here is my promise to myself. I want to make sure that I do these things that I miss the most and not forget that I need to feel beautiful to be beautiful!
So here is to the mothers that feel worn out and frumpy, lets all take a oath that we will be better to our bodies and better our mind and soul by taking those small steps, and by that we can feel the same we used to. I know that youth is something that everyone wishes for, but I think by taking care we will all be fine.
Take care momma's of Minnesota, well all momma's really.
What are your #1 things that you miss the most?

Oh honey, don't worry you will get back there eventually. But I agree there are things that I totally miss: Sleep in's on Sundays. The ability to be spontaneous, lying on the couch all weekend and watching movies, having the time and $$ to be able to get a wax and have my hair done.
I miss having the bed to myself and a clean house. I get so overwhelmed I can not move at times. I know this will pass. I just hope it will come before I lose my mind ;) (hugs)
It will come...after 5 years, I've finally taken out my ponytail. Just do little things for yourself, grab a cup of $20 coffee, or buy a new lipgloss, or maybe even a new pair of sweats. Because God knows as "mommy" as they are, there is nothing like them.
My wife has felt the same things. I've always encouraged her to take care of herself while I watch the kids. I even gave her a git certificate to a half day massage to be used whenever for Christmas. Moms need time to recharge their batteries like anyone else.
All my best.
