I am a mother of a 2 yr old and 6yr old (boys). I have a lot of things that I need to change in my life and one is spending quality time with my boys. I spend lots of time with them but not quality time. Ive never really admitted it to myself till here lately that I am not spending my time like I should. I am a beginner photographer so I spend lots of my time learning photography and photo editing. I am also a neat freak/control freak. I cant seem to be calm and happy when everything isnt done in my home and when not everything is done the way I want it to be. So when all my chores and daily duties are done it is time for kids to go to bed and I am physically exausted! I have grown up in a very unstable home, moved around alot with different family members, so never really felt like I belonged anywhere or like anything in my life was ever permanent. Now at 23yrs old I am so thankful that I found someone I truly love my husband and my children and life is great. I do believe that my childhood plays a huge role in the way I am now today, very afraid of change and trying so hard to make life perfect for my kids that Im realizing isnt always a good thing. I am now starting to look at myself through my boys eyes and has really helped me get on the road to change. I just want to lay of all the anxiety I make myself have aside and stop trying to acomplish a weeks worth of things into one day and enjoy this time with them. I hope that I can keep this goal and keep on the right track to molding them into good parents.
