It's like you've made so much progress (just ditched the baby bag. Everyone's potty trained) and another baby puts you right back at square one. I get it. I feel you. The best thing you can do is get baby number two moving right along ASAP. Hate to rush you but the only way to get the little bit of "you" back is to make those lil ones move along. We don't do things at a snails pace round these parts. I pushed my 2 year old to keep up with or surpass my almost four year old and both me and the hubs appreciate all that our capable kids can do.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635781148519254341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6455674409757030672.post-16922394334555898572009-11-12T01:23:05.229-06:002009-11-12T01:23:05.229-06:00Don't feel so bad.

First off, I love the title b/c a Hot Mess is def a phrase that I use. <br /><br />In reference to this post & part I. I think that most Stay At Home Mom's struggle with loving being home with their kids and wanting ME time, and adult conversation. Some moms resort to locking themselves in the bathroom just to get a break but it really shouldn't have to come to that. We (self included) need to be better at telling our husbands what we need as in sometime btwn when you get home and when the kid goes to bed can I get 45 mins of uninterrupted time PLEASE.<br /><br />With regard to imaginary friends. I've found joining a Moms group really helps. I'm a member of Mocha Moms which is a National Org for Stay at home Mothers of Color. My chapter has playdates which is good for my currently only child to socialize with someone other than me and Diego, they also have monthly Mom's ONLY potlucks where the mommies get a break. <br /><br />I'm gonna stop now b/c I feel like I'm writing a whole blog post in your comments section plus I need to go cook my hubby dinner :)Coniquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02086246199515965139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6455674409757030672.post-83791698435645802352009-08-19T18:42:00.310-05:002009-08-19T18:42:00.310-05:00I'm not quite there yet honestly.

But I do think it's just about transitions. You've gotten used to things a certain way so it's hard to picture them differently. But I don't think it's bad. It'll be a new experience for all of you.mr. nicholshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17636893403179885321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6455674409757030672.post-53426828192173836372009-07-24T14:02:04.616-05:002009-07-24T14:02:04.616-05:00I don't think that's bad at all! Yes, your...I don't think that's bad at all! Yes, your son may get lonley from time to time, however, he is starting Pre-K and will make lots of new friends. And you have to take into consideration how your going to be feeling IF you do decide to have another kiddo. SOME <br />(not all) parents seem to forget that they are entilted to have a life after their child is born. So, i say send your child to Pre-K and enjoy your alone time for awhile, and then LATER if you decide your ready to deal with the morning sickness, dr visits, diapers, crying all that fun stuff at least you had time to think about it !!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6455674409757030672.post-40185017988935403122009-06-26T15:13:02.114-05:002009-06-26T15:13:02.114-05:00I'm right there with you girl!

You have to find the balance that works for you and your family. Settling for anything less will leave you drained & unhappy. You are not alone !

It is very normal to desire having your "old you" back since she had more time for social things. But it is responsible for you to put your son's social life into perspective too. As long as you make the right end choice, all will start off well. And who says a mommy can't have an SL? Find mommy meetup groups to join in your area (meetup.com). Don't kill yourself!!!<br /><br />P.S.
