The house breaking, while trying at times, is going pretty good. We've pretty much decided to keep him in the kitchen or a playpen we bought him. We are hoping that we won't have to replace carpets before we move out of our rental...let's cross our fingers!
We are getting excited about buying our home (hopefully) by the end of the lease in November. Hopefully mortgage rates and the housing market don't get too crazy before that time.
OK, enough of the family update. I have been thinking a lot about things that I can do to feel more fulfilled while I am in the middle of raising a family. It's funny that I thought I would have absolutely no problems transitioning into the role of motherhood. While I think that I have had it easier than some, I still find that I sometimes get a little overwhelmed, or maybe underwhelmed, with the life that I am currently leading. I LOVE being a mom and I know that home with my baby is where I am supposed to be. I do, however, sometimes feel that my mind goes numb from the monotony of my life as a SAHM. I need brain stimulation which, let's face it, does NOT come from changing diapers and making sure my kid doesn't pull the lamp on top of her in the living room all day long. Anyway, you get my point.
I'd really like to take some art and cooking classes once my kids are in school. Until than, I'm just not sure what would help me. Any suggestions?
