No time for mom time
Now social media has been my enemy for a while now, it has turned into a love-hate relationship between us and I'm certain most of all of you can relate to that. As I scroll through social media platforms, I regularly see other moms and women posting things about the work they are producing or the dreams they are tackling and concurring every day and I beat myself up for not having the time or funds to do similar things like these amazing and inspirational women do. They seem to have a lot of free time to work on themselves and I then get envious and wonder why I don’t have that kind of time too.
There is nothing more I would like then to have extra free time to go to yoga class, work on my artistic expression, read a book or even get a damn wax for crying out loud! But as I am writing this and bitching about my life, I realize the reason I don’t have the time is that I just have a very different schedule than other moms do in the world, and that’s ok. I work a full-time job as a manager putting in 40+ hours a week and my fiancé also works a full-time job at nights; the different schedules during the week allow us to not have to pay for a nanny right now. As soon as I get home from my job, I’m packing the family up in the car to drop the fiancé off to his job by 5 pm and then once I am finally home all I need to do is try to whip something up real quick for dinner. Then I catch up on some cleaning, give the little one a bath and finally get her outside for a bit and enjoy some quality time with my little girl before she’s ready for bed by 8 pm.
As I am typing this, I understand that I don’t need any mom time I just need as much time as I can get with my daughter right now. I enjoy my days in the hustle and grind of a working mom's life and I really do try not to complain so much about it, but hey that’s only human nature, right? I'm ok with my hobbies only including being a mom and cooking meals for her while I blog about it. This may seem lame to others, but to me, it's the most fulfilling hobby I could have ever chosen to do in this lifetime. My old hobbies in life never made me they just made me into the person I have become. The bottom line is I love to spend every waking minute I have with my princess Betty Luna Capodice and I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world not even extra time for me. You’re my peanut, my rock, and my glue that holds me together and I love you dearly Betty.
