As Seen In My Life
Pookah Pookah.
I know we’re not supposed to let our lives revolve around our children, but it’s so hard!
I do have other interests in life of course ( my job, my photography, the blog, twitta…)
But I find that all the things I do are somehow connected to my boy.
I continue to work in the nuthouse circus establishment where I work because it gives me more flexibility in terms of Pookah.
I started a blog. About other stuff, but mainly Pookah.
I take photos. Of Pookah. ( other things too, but lets be real here.)
I tweet. To try to talk about something other than my child! LOL
A few years ago I would have been appalled! OMG!
But now, it’s my new normal.
I love my child. I love talking about him. I love taking photos of him. I suffer 36 hours a week at night so that I can be there if he needs me in a pinch during the day.
This is my life. This is my balance. This is the way things are. For now.
And I kind of like it that way.
Sounds like it truly is a wonderful life! Congrats!!
I love this post and I can soooooo relate! Before children, I assumed that parents who talked a lot about their kids didn’t have lives or that they were boring. Now, as a parent, I am “that” parent. I talk about motherhood, parenting, and my children because they play such a huge role in my life. I still have a “life” and other interests, but those big three (or motherhood, parenting, my children) are what color the lens through which I talk about those other interests.
So true! I’m glad I’m not the only one!
and nothing is wrong with any of this!
He is a cutie. Love this picture of him. A mother’s love is awesome.
Thank you!
It’s easy to fall for pookah we all know I have…. So keep blogging about him please… When I see his face I just have to smile!
Thanks! You’ll have to meet him!
Pookah is so handsome! I know that feeling.. its so hard to not let our lives revolve around our little people, carving out “me” time is a daily struggle.
Thank you! It’s hard to find balance and time for me, bit I’m working on it!
i’m so with you. it’s a wonderful way to be! 😉
Awww! I love this! There’s nothing wrong with your life being rooted in your son. I think it’s sweet!
Thanks! I don’t want to be an obsessed parent but….
Sigh that happens when you have kids..I just now (after 11 years) figured out how to make more things about me!
