Me time!

There used to be a time, when I had what I like to call Me time!
I used to set aside about 30 minutes to an hour a night and let myself either blog, paint my nails, watch a movie, whatever my little heart desired. When Cooper was a tiny baby and I had time because all he did was sleep. I could hold him in my arms and blog with one hand :) Sure it took longer to type but oh well, I was enjoying snuggling with my little Mr. while still blogging.
Cooper is so active these days. Just like any other 1 year old. I'm finding it harder and harder to find time for me. Which is ok, that's what happens when you become a mom. I love it and I won't give up kids for me time any day. I try not to complain but every once in a while I realize that its been nearly 3 weeks since I've had even a tiny bit of me time. I haven't read blogs in darn near three weeks. I haven't painted my nails or taken the time to really shave my legs really good and not miss a few spots. I haven't watched one of my shows without getting up every couple minutes to play with Cooper or make dinner or get him in the bath. Its OK. Again I'm not complaining. I just need to figure out how to add more hours into my day. I just need to vent sometimes because I do feel like I don't have time for me ever. The more kids I have the more difficult this will be. Until one beautiful day when I might actually be able to stay home with my kids. DREAM COME TRUE!!! A girl can dream right??? I realize that staying home is quite a job. But I would hope that every day I could fit in even a second of me time if that were the case. Right now I get home at nearly 6:00 and want to spend every waking second with my Coop. I miss him so bad during the day. I hate not having more time with him. It truly breaks my heart. I just wish I had a way to make money at home and be with him and our next child all day. Right now we have IVF bills and more to come most likely. Its ok, we realize that is just part of our life and its ok. I just wish we could handle not both of us working full time. I need to find some miraculous way to work out of my house while still making a lot of money. Haha. I know what your thinking. Silly me huh.

Sorry for my rant. I just had to sit down and let it out. I have been promising myself that I will work out a way to have more time to do the things I want to do again. While still not compromising my time with Cooper. So far I haven't quite figured it out but I'm working on it.

Thanks for listening those of you who did. I figure lots of moms can relate with me on all of the issues I'm battling with. Its always nice to know I'm not alone.
