Do any of you feel like you live in a Box and you rarely come out to see what else is going on?
That is how I feel since Macy was born.
I'm in my box,
it's safe in my box
When I stay in my box I can save money
I can control more of my surroundings in my box
But... it's also lonely in this box, Happy, but lonely.
Yet this is where I stay.
Maybe because of the bad weather, maybe because of a tight budget, maybe because I don't feel like getting dressed up until I feel better about my body.
Probably all three, and a few more things :)
So here I sit... in my box. With a soft blanket. and a bottled water.
Sometimes holding a baby
Sometimes playing dolls with Kyla
Sometimes reading a book
Sometimes playing a game with Tommy
Lots of time folding laundry, pumping, feeding, teaching and meal planning.
Can't wait to break out of this box... but I think to do that, the stars need to align!
Or maybe we all just need a little sand and sun to give us that extra little PUSH to climb out of our boxes!

GREAT POST!! i am stuck in that box that you describe...I am happy...but would like to step out of it! I really cannot wait to go out and play! smiles
Sometimes it's just easier to stay in the box because going out requires a lot of effort...althoughh I have to admit when I do make the effort to get out for the day, I enjoy it so much and so do the kids!
Awww. Such a sad post! You should come over to my box... I don't have dolls but I DO hve laundry!
Oh boy... I sure could use some sun and sand myself! (((hugs))) to you!
It takes time... but once you do break out of your box, you'll be glad you did. There's so much more to life if you're willing to check it out. Start by taking a walk with the kiddos tomorrow :-)
