I haven’t blogged in a really long time…well, technically two kids ago. While in years/months/days that much time hasn’t really passed, however, in parenthood, it has felt like an eternity. Truth is, I’ve been in the thick of it for quite awhile. I’ve had this gnawing feeling to start writing again, and also been asked if I have ever done a blog to document my daily realities as a wife, mother, and woman. I don’t think I am an expert in any capacity for these subject matters, but I certainly was fast tracked through the many seasons of them. Heck, I’m still learning every single day as I’ve grown in my case studies…Hallie, Hayes, Hollis and finally Henley have given me some great content to work with.
I’m realizing that time however long it can feel on really bad day, is also flying by toward school, sports, and activities and there is nothing I can do to slow it down. Henley is somehow 3 months old today, and already losing some of her newborn/itty bitty baby-ness to her. It makes me sad. I was still holding on to Hollis being my baby, and he is 2 and a tornado at that. Don’t even get me started with Hallie (4.5) and Hayes (3.5) who are in the thick of preschool and Kindergarten prep years. I see yellow school busses in my near future and it terrifies me.
The responsibilities I have felt since becoming a legit stay at home mom carry a great weight on my chest. I swore I would never stay home with my kids and raise them full-time, and yet here I am, raising four kids, and hoping to god I am doing something right. They are awesome though and make it hysterical and insane.
I wasn’t sure what I was going to write in my first blog back after a few years hiatus, but I guess I took the biggest step, which was just to begin again. So, stay tuned for stories of my chaotic world in our party of 6.
