I miss blogging. I miss MOPS. I miss free time. I miss scrapbooking. I miss facebooking. I miss doing my nails. I miss leisurely walks. I miss watching trashy tv. I miss reading. I miss lying around. I miss having a cat (but not the allergies or mess). I miss running. I miss pedicures and massages. I miss game nights with my friends. I miss spontaneity. I miss waking up Saturday morning with the day stretching long before me just waiting for me to find something to do to fill it.
sheesh. I’m melencholy today.
It's ok, Jess! Sometimes I get that way too! It will be ok! I'll still check on ya! Hope everything picks up!!!!!

I've had those same feelings, but know this: In the blink of an eye, your kiddies will be big enough to leave home alone or to be trusted to entertain themselves while you take a nap. Those years in between are hard, but it's wonderful to have a little freedom again! (I'm going out tomorrow night with my best friend and my girls are babysitting my boys! Whoo hoo! No hiring a babysitter!) 🙂
I hear ya!
I can SO identify with that…miss many of the same things…
oh my friend, its okay. its totally okay to miss those things and to confess it! I *so* hear you. We give up much to be moms, we love being moms but it doesnt mean we dont miss our 'old selves and lives'!
Thinking of you.
Um, yes. I feel like that right now.
And a lot of other melancholy, semi-depressed things.
Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one today.
There's a brownie cake in the kitchen calling my name. What baby weight? Hmm? What muffin top? I can be in denial if I want to. Brownie cake it is. Unhealthy coping mechanisms? Yes.
Oh, you know what I miss? I miss enjoying the silence. Now whenever it's silent I immediately get suspicious and go off in search of my three year old to see what he's gotten into.
May your day today be full of the joy of those that make it harder to do the things you miss [smile].
