I am...I just read through your post this refers to. I am in the same boat. I would rather sleep the days away and hope to wake to everything being perfect and happy. I have been a SAHM since 2008 and I feel like just that... a MOM I don't feel like Brooke Anna any longer. I don't take care of myself what-so-ever... and it shows. Sadly, it shows. I put makeup on like a mask to hide what I dislike about myself and don't really attempt to dress up. Mostly to cover me up. I don't feel like my fiancée "gets it" since he simply says... Let them go outside for a while... well the problem with that is that I rarely feel like getting out. I feel like my days are wasted away blogging, and reading blogs. I KNOW what I need/must do... but just don't have the energy or drive to do any of it. So, closing the blinds and keeping the world out is easier. <br /> Where you mentioned that you both argued... that is where I feel I am at this point. The tension is so deep and the "unrest" is there for me as well. I feel like I must allow for a facade to dictate me. I feel so alone since the only family I have is more than 300 miles away. My mom lives here... but is gone every other month. I attend college through an online partnership and will begin on-campus classes in the fall. That stresses me since I haven't had a friend visit me in more than 7 months. My friends don't have children and I have two. I wouldn't change it for anything but sometimes I feel as if being a mother is what everyone looks at me as. Not Brooke Anna. I feel as if I have lost my identity. Sorry to keep rambling (I can continue on and on) but I just wanted you to know you aren't alone. There are so many things you wrote about that I can agree with.Brooke Anna @ Mommy Does...https://www.blogger.com/profile/05090055942570733913noreply@blogger.com
