Sewing the Seeds

I used to always be on time. Even early sometimes. My house used to be clean, even longer than 20 minutes sometimes. Two amazing children later, I strive to find balance. I strive to pee alone. I strive to be OM time, even if I am late. Parenting is the most amazing and hard work I have ever encountered. It was so easy holding down my 9-5, so easy I barely even thought about it. I never bought a book about how to communicate with my co-workers. I never bought a book about how to deal with temper tantrums in the workplace. There was no Love and Logic for the office available. I loved my cubicle. Now I love my kids and the house that has become my cubicle. I have a five year old and a one year old and have only just now found the time to jot down two paragraphs about the chaos of my life and my attempts to stay sane. I have drowned in the pressure of being a good mom, wife and employee for the last 5 years or so. I have gone to therapy, bitched to my friends and family and doggie paddled around, just trying to tow the line. I have mostly struggled with lack of personal time, lack of time to focus for extended times on one task, and the guilt of not feeling good at anything I have been responsible for. But no more. Now is the time to take back Sarah. Take back life and enjoy myself and my kids and my house and my work. Reclaim me, live a healthy and happy life. Welcome to OM Time Mom. I hope we can spend some quality time together. Sarah
