These times they are a changin’
(posted 12 Jun 2008)
I think I may have mentioned here that I am now divorced. But if not, I am. I have been adjusting to a lot of things not the least of which is not having a husband for the first time in 17 years! But one of the things that is new to me is being without my kids. They have gone to Florida to visit their grandparents for the month of June. I’m kind of at a loss without their noise and questions and their laughter and fighting and all the other things that come with being a mom.
Its an odd thing to be experiencing. One of the positive aspects of this time is how it is giving me a chance to renew my acquaintance with myself. Sometimes when you are a mom, it’s easy to forget who you are and to just focus on being your children’s mother. And what they need in my case always comes first. It’s a bit odd to just make what I want for dinner instead of thinking about what my kiddos don’t like.
Have you ever had a situation like this? Or are you pretty well-rounded and in tune with yourself all the time?
