Hanging with other moms and work

February 14, 2008

Let’s start with hanging with other moms. First off, I want to say thank you for so many comments and such good advice. I guess I just needed to know that what I was feeling was totally normal and that we all have some type of worry when it comes to being a mom. And thank you to my fellow blogger, Daddy Greg, for making such a great comment from the other point of view. Bottom line is that being a mom means giving love as Christy from Cakerwakers said. Thanks to Kellan-mom of 4!! Thanks to Melanie, Jessa, Em and Shannon. It means a lot to have friends out there that I can share my intimate thought with and feel connected and clear.

As for hanging with moms in person, I had a play group today and hung out with 6 other moms. It was great. I was so relaxed while usually I feel tense and stressed. I guess for so long I have compared myself to other moms and made up in my head that they are better at being a mom etc. All that chitter chatter in my head. So today, I just showed up as me and enjoyed myself. I also realized that it is important for me to hang with other moms (none of my friends have babies) and share my fears because you know what?? THEY HAVE THEM TOO! WOW!!

Now for the really good part-it is official-I ended my job on Monday and I am offically just at school for Reiki and home with Max. I already feel the stress of my job melting away. Why didn’t I do this earlier? Well the time was not right for me. Life happens. And it all is neccessary.
