Why don’t friends with kids have time?

First things first, you need to read this:

Is it bad that I smiled the whole time I read this? The person who wrote the response did a very good job at explaining why we, stay at home moms, are so busy. I laughed the whole time I was reading it. HA! I wish having a kid was an excuse to relax and enjoy. Enjoy? Yes! Relax? Not until she goes to bed! For some reason I have this weird feeling quite a few people in my life could of very well been “Tacoma” and written this question….. 

My mind has been going crazy since I read this almost 24 hours ago and in my mind….

it goes a little something like this:

After almost 2 years of being a mother I’ve come to this conclusion…IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT PEOPLE THINK!! It doesn’t matter what ANYONE thinks!! I don’t care if you think what I talk about is stupid. I don’t care if your sick of hearing about my oh so beautiful baby girl. (I talk about her to anyone who will listen.) I don’t care if you get offended that I don’t call you or text you enough. I don’t care if I miss a night out because I want to spend it with my family. (A night in with my family is so much more fun than wasting money on overpriced drinks and throwing it all up after the fact.) I’m not trying to be insensitive here  or offend anyone but I don’t have the time worry about it anymore. My life is completely and utterly about my family and I’m okay with that. Mike and I still have fun…we still do go out every once in awhile. My life is just different than basically all of my friends now and I’ve finally gotten to the point that I’m okay with that. Being a wife and a mom fulfills me! This is what I’m meant to do at this moment in my life and for the rest of my life…even if we are doing this before everyone else has the guts to “take the plunge”

& to the ones who vow to wait years and years to “take the plunge”…yea you…

I say this:

When you become a parent, you just adapt. I find so much joy in being a mother and I know Mike finds the same joy in being a father. Kamryn is hilarious, interesting, so incredibly loving and absolutely all around fantastic! We both do our best and try to keep lighthearted about it as much as we can…that way we don’t feel burdened by all the responsibility in raising her. We have fun with it! We enjoy every moment of it! Its an adventure and nothing to be scared of! When you become a parent you don’t “loose” yourself (I think that’s why a lot of people are scared to have kids)….just make sure you keep in mind that “yourself” is always changing….
