Mar 30, 2004 Recently, I have questioned my purpose in Life! For eight years I was a single mother of two wonderful children. Then I got married and added not only a husband, but a third wonderful child. Now, after three years of marriage, we can definitely say the honeymoon is over! Or as my daughter would say, "We are done eating honey on the moon"! No more being spoiled, no more flowers, just because, and no more help with cleaning up the house! I have been turned into a maid! Forget the wife and mother, I am at beck and call mode! I have recently found that I have the ability to fix everything and everyone, except myself. (No time for that) Now, don't get me wrong, I love my family with everything I have inside of me, but do you ever wonder where you are? I don't think I have seen my true self in a very long time! I try not to ask much of my family, but picking up after yourself is not a whole lot. And not having to repeat myself about fifty times would be a blessing in disguise. As I work a full time job, I notice my boss and his wife. On vacation, "he" takes care of the kids so "she" can relax. My question is what does she have to relax from? Asking the maid/nanny to watch her kids as she goes out for the day. For shopping or what ever she desires. Now that’s great and all and I understand her husband worked hard for that luxury for her. I also know that when I go home at night, and check on my kids in bed, that the look of them sleeping, peaceful, and happy. That this life, my life, is the most perfect life anyone could ask for. And I will look deep inside to find that the next time I question my purpose. ------------ Email Antionette Wold: ajb_3@msn.com Tell a friend about this site! ------------ |
