I decided to start this little blog so that I can have a link to the outside world, and when my Mr. comes home from a long day of studying I won't be such a sassy pants! I am so insanely proud of my husband I could explode, but sometimes being the wife of a medical student is just down right hard! I know I'm not the one with all the pressures of doing well and studying for tests, but I am raising our child which counts for something, right? I am just hoping that one or two of you out there feel the same way I do. Even if your husband isn't in med school! Raising kids is so rewarding, and I am so so grateful that I have the opportunity to stay home with my little rascal, but some days I long for adult conversation--just a few hours with out having to say "don't touch that" or sing "itsy bitsy spider." I miss the learning environment of college and being able to challenge myself mentally. I used to LOVE to read and write and learn new things, but I feel like I've lost that part of myself somewhere along the way. Maybe, here I can get some of that back! If any of you want to join me I would love to have you. Become a follower, leave a comment, I would love to hear from you!

I feel ya! Although Steve didn't go to medical school, he was getting his MBA for the first couple years of Savannah's life. But I think just in general, being a stay at home mom is hard in this way. It does get easier, as Savannah has gotten older we hang out with other kids and moms for play dates, which do wonders for my sanity. I also read a TON still! I know it is hard to find time, but it is worth it for me. I find my mental health is best when I'm reading a lot. It just helps me stay engaged in the adult world. Although I wouldn't trade staying home with my girls for anything, some days are just HARD. Good luck!
