The journey makes us one.

Posted by admin in becoming a mama, crossing over, Mama reflections on 11 20th, 2008 | no comments

When I became a mother, everything shifted. From the moment, the moment, CR entered the world. Literally, I was one person while I labored for 27 hours and pushed for almost three, and then I was another, when she finally slipped into the world. I knew that would happen. That’s why I was so deathly afraid.

My post of two days ago got me thinking and actually doing some tossing and turning about how my “crossing over” all of a sudden felt vastly different to what I perceive other women’s journeys to be. But a few comments made me breathe a little sigh of relief knowing I wasn’t that alone after all, hence my whole reason for starting this friggin’ blog. Reaching out to a wider community I knew might exist. My experiment.

Now that my feet are planted semi-firmly on the “other side” (don’t get me wrong, I’d like to jump back from time to time), I understand that we all come to our motherhood in a bazillion different ways.

So tonight, I’m wondering if you wouldn’t mind sharing a few words about your path to becoming a mother.

As usual, I’ll begin…

about us

Moms without Blogs is basically me, Lee, who wonders every single day how in the hell am I going to find the time to write a blog post? I\'m a mom to three kids (ages 9, 7, and 4) who are insanely gorgeous, insanely active, insanely demanding, insanely life-affirming and who have almost driven me insane. In good and bad ways. I work as a producer in reality television, I fold all kinds of laundry, I am picky about how my dishwasher is loaded, I yell entirely too much at my kids, I like desert skies and how my skin feels after a dip in the ocean, I married my soul mate even though I don\'t believe in soul mates really, I believe that laughing \'til it hurts is where it\'s at, I\'m a sucker for putting little treats into the bowls of our three dogs each night, I love driving my 1974 orange convertible Karmann Ghia, I write when inspiration strikes, and summer is my season. And if you\'re a mom without a blog, literally or figuratively, then I\'d probably like to hang out with you. Thanks for reading.
