Crazy!

So, it's been a couple of months since I last posted, and I apologize. I have been SO very busy lately. I am continuing my weightloss journey (there's a separate blog for that), running after Kaitlyn, playing house, and all the other things that can be thrown into my crazy life.

Kaitlyn has started K-4. I can't believe my baby is getting so big! I need to buy her more school clothes already, as she keeps getting taller. UGH!

A couple of months ago, I went to Baton Rouge to visit a few friends I hadn't seen it years. It was great to catch up, and just not have a care in the world. I went by myself, and it was lovely! I realized that I needed that break. It's not that I don't love spending time with my family, but I tend to lose who I am in the mix of everything. There are times that "Angela" is no longer my name, but I have been replaced with mommy, friend, wife, employee... or any other title that pops up.

I think it's important for women to step back sometimes, and remember that, we too, are a single person. We have dreams, hopes, aspirations, desires... and we need to meet our own needs, or face being a pathetic excuse for a mommy, friend, wife, employee. We don't have to please everyone all the time. When you take that time for yourself, you come back in the game feeling refreshed, and ready to rock. Your family really can function at least a few hours without you. I promise.
