So here I am ..nearly 2 years since my last blog post.
Baby J is nearly 2 too and it is no rocket science what I have been doing for the last 2 years. Everyone will tell you that motherhood is a whole new paradigm and many mommies can do all of it again and again and again...
Although children are a blessing, I think my sanity would come first. I will stick to bringing up J as best that I can and also to not forget that I am my own person. J is very much his own person and for that I am glad :). (Mummy loves you forever J :*)
On other issues, we have not unpacked all our boxes yet. Maybe that feat will take another 5 years but who's counting.
Speaking of boxes, there are times that I feel that I am in one. It is hard to come out from this big, deep box full of everyday washing, feeding, entertaining of a toddler and exhaustion. I still try to not lose sight of the things that I want to do for myself. Some of it - learn and speak Tamil, going back to playing guitar for a band, and maybe taking up sewing (using the sewing machine and overcoming the fear of sewing my fingers together!!). I also need to tap into my creative side. Maybe write more, design stuff, speak to random strangers and see where that leads me...
Perhaps I should write about people's stories. Everyone has a story.
Even if not a soul reads my blog, at least it is out there. At least I did something totally self indulgent today.
