WOW!!! I can't believe it's been three years since I last published a post. Time has flown by, and I have no idea where it went! Quick update: I now have three children, Alexa (my firstborn...who I started this blog about...originally named Loving Alexa), Chandler (my middle and VERY strong-willed child) and Caleb (my sweet, easy-going one). I decided to change my blog to The Real Me because this blog is about a new chapter of my life.
I have been a stay at home mom now for about a year and a half...full time that is...and it's the most exhausting work ever. I have worked years in the corporate world, and no job compares to what I do now. It is not only physically exhausting, but mentally as well! The past several months, I have battled with loneliness and depression...not because I didn't have friends or family, but because of where my life was. Please don't get me wrong...I love staying home and taking care of my family...but the monotony of it all really got to me. I guess I wondered, is this all God has for me? But God has dealt us tough hands before, and He always sees us through it, and He has made us a stronger family for it.
Through God's grace, and the help of a wonderful woman at Church, I am slowly and surely becoming myself again. Through all this, I am trying to find the real me...the person that I replaced as wife, mom, chef and maid. One thing I do know is that I love to craft, which I find very surprising because the 32 years I have been on this Earth, I didn't think I had a creative bone in my body! So this blog is about me...of course I will talk about my children and how much they drive me NUTS (haha...if I can't vent here, where can I vent), but this is a place where I am going to start a new chapter of my life and become ME, on top of being wife, mom, chef and maid.
