Discovering Me Again

as a mother and wife i feel sometimes i have lost my identity to who i really am.

i know who i want to be but i don't have time to become that person because raising children supporting the main man to achieve his goals and attending to everyone's needs in the family is a full-time job.

i remember days where i had to time to do my hair and make-up, choose an outfit that i felt pretty in.

i felt like i could paint the town red, i was confident in myself and had no self image issues.

now it's 5 min shower, hair greasy up in a top bun and make-up - who has time for make-up?

most days i don't feel pretty at all.

i try so hard to give my kids the best start to their journeys.

getting them to pre-school, getting them to swimming lessons, making their breakfast, lunch and dinner, taking them on play dates, exploring our local surroundings, getting them to church, dressing them, bathing them, reading to them, going on walks, scooter rides, buying them clothes, getting their haircuts, taking them to the park, doing the laundry, running the household, supporting the main man, the list goes on and on.

i absolutely love my boys and i love being a mum and a wife.

i would not trade that in for the world.

but i think maybe once a week us mums and wives need to take some time for ourself and find/remember/revive who we are, who we want to become, what talents are.

find some time to do our hair, do our make-up so that we can feel beautiful or even sexy, paint our nails, discover a new hobby, go for a walk, have a bubble bath WITHOUT any interruptions.

i wish those mothers out there that can deal with all this, look beautiful and most importantly look confident in who they are could give me some pointers on doing it all.

one thing is good to know that i have 3 gorgeous boys and one wonderful husband that love me unconditionally and eternally.
