What mommy has time for a nap when there is much to share, such
as my thoughts, feelings, ideas, stories, experiences, and all things
associated with the stay-at-home-mom career (including, but not limited to
parenting, crafting, cooking, cleaning, organizing, entertaining, maintaining
personal sanity, beauty, hygiene, and spirituality, as well as a harmonious
household). Phew! That's a lot to talk about.
No Nap for Mommy is my attempt to combat feelings of loneliness
as I continue adjusting to the stay-at-home-mom lifestyle. I’m not the type of
person to nap during the day. I may be tired, but I just CAN’T give into the sleepiness.
I just can’t, even on days when it seems so appealing. I tend to have too much
running through my mind... hence the buzzing bee in my blog title. I may not be
very productive (was my middle name before motherhood), but I sure think about
A LOT of things. Some important, some not. I realized I do ‘The List’ just like
Sarah Jessica Parker’s character in “I Don’t Know How She Does It”. But since I’m
still getting the hang of being a mom and a homemaker all at the same time... I
often find I forget the list I made. And even if I write it down, I forget
where I put it. I’m surprised this is my life... me! Miss organized, Miss
Organizer, Miss Planner, Miss Prepared. Well, I used to be and still can be at
random moments!
As I said before, this is an attempt to share myself with you. Particularly
the moments of the day when I think no one is available and just want to jabber
on about an idea, thought or feeling I have just had. Sometimes I just want to
share my stories and experiences with someone who truly wants to listen. This
kind of takes out the embarrassment of being lame or boring! You can read my
post and I never have to know the real feedback. Feel free to share
constructively though!!
I really do hope I can keep up with this project. I can see it
as a window into my life for those friends and family who are not so close by.
Through this venue my inner monologue can become a dialogue. My personal ideas
and projects can prompt discussions. I can share my struggles and triumphs with
you regularly. I hope through the experience of blogging here, you will feel
connected to me and my family no matter where we are or how often we talk on
the phone or email or Facebook.
Feel free to share your thoughts on this endeavor. Discussion is
encouraged. Encouragement is greatly appreciated!
