I agree with you 1000000...Thank you for this post!<br /><br />I agree with you 10000000%. LOL. For what it's worth, I think you love positively lovely (but then, that's coming from another SAHM who can't afford to buy clothes either, and when I do, it's from a local second hand store. I like to tell myself that I like it because it makes me think outside the box....) Luckily, I also have a hunger sister that I get "hand me ups" (hehe! I like that) from. She dresses really cute, so I take everything she gets rid of...it's a bit unfortunate that she's about 3 or 4 sizes bigger than I am. No matter how cute her things are, they still never fit me. LOL. Oh well. <br /><br />I really appreciate your admission that you miss your carefree days. I am heavily involved in community theatre in my area, and I face a lot of criticism for it. Many people know that it's one of my dreams to act professionally some day. And as a mom of 4, I get regular lectures from random people about how I need to rearrange my priorities and that when you have kids, you don't matter anymore and that parenthood is about sacrifice. Okay- I LOVE my kids more than anything. I don't regret them for a second. But I have made plenty of sacrifices. I want to be an actress...why is that so different from a mom who wants a carreer? Or go back to school? It's not. But people always praise those goals, so why is my goal so terrible? Anyway, my kids are always in the shows I am, it's a family affair, and I'm not running off to hollywood, I'm in Utah in community plays. They love it. People never get it, until they have their own kids, and then half of them make martyrs of themselves, as though that makes them better moms. <br /><br />I can also identify with the 24/7 momhood- every thing I do has to do with my kids. EVERYTHING. Even when what I'm doing has nothing to do with them. LOL. You get it. <br /><br />I'm here following your blog on GFC from MBS. I'd love you to visit me back, if you don't mind! www.becauseidontscrapbook.blogspot.comWindthicket Fableshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09820803765909133728noreply@blogger.com
