Journey To A New Me-Journaling Challenge

Journaling:
With Fall approaching, I am filled with questions and emotion. The first being Who am I ? That may seem like a silly question but really for the past six years, I have been Chloes mommy. I even made friends with people mostly because we had kids the same age for playdates. I did everything around nap times, play times and Kindergarten times. I wore mom jeans and comfortable clothes that would let me be on the floor with a baby or toddler or at the park. In fact, its been so long since I picked out real clothes that I have no clue as to what my style is! And it was all worth every single second. But in just a couple of days, my life is about to change rather drastically. You see, I will have entire days to myself. I can wear what I want, work out when I want, actually style my hair, read a book, scrapbook all day, have a bubble bath, form complete, uninterrupted thoughts in my head, eat when I feel hungry and watch a soap opera or two on tv if I feel like it. Sounds pretty decadent, doesnt it? But believe me this newfound freedom doesnt come without its own dose of mommy guilt- Did I play with her enough? Will she miss me too much at lunchtime? How will she cope without all my hugs and I love yous all day? Will the house be too quiet? Will she make friends? How will I fill my time? Should I go back to work? Do I deserve to have all this me time? Sure I had lots of me time before she was born just a short six years ago, but for the life of me, I cant remember at all what I did all day, lol. So here I am, 44 years old rediscovering who I am, again. I have to admit that I am excited to find out.

Ah, you will fill your time no problems, and it will be fun (re-)discovering yourself. Very touching journaling. I feel the same now that my children are leaving home. We can do things we haven't done for over 20 years like go away for a weekend whenever we like! It is like rediscovering my 20yo self! I was just thinking today that I should do a page on that! LOVE your page!!
 
Beautiful page, Heather. I hope you'll enjoy every single step of this adventure.
 
bon voyage, Heather. start it out believing the you deserve every minute of your free time. then launch Chloe into HER new and exciting life without guilt. one thing you're not short on is love for your kiddos, so don't look back. and a beautiful page! (and, man, can i relate about the clothing style thing. i STILL haven't figured out mine....)
