Just a mom..

I met a new friend this week and we were doing the typical getting to know each other questions. They asked me about myself, I proceeded to tell them that I have a baby, she is 9 months old, she just started crawling, showed them pictures. This went on for about 5 minutes of me giving every little detail about Boston when they stopped to inform me that I had not said one thing about myself.

I am a mom, I am Bostons mom... I feel like beyond that I am losing my identity. Who was I before Boston?

Has this happened to anyone else? I use to think I was funny and I would introduce myself, quoting Hot Rod, by saying "Hi, I'm Ashlynn, and I like to Party." Now it has turned into, "Hi, I'm Ashlynn, and I like to go on stroller walks."

I dont even remember what I used to take pictures of before Boston was here or what I even did for that matter. Currently the apps on my phone are of lullaby music and Sesame Street.

I have been racking my brain making a list...I use to like dancing, jogging, going out with friends. I liked traveling and going to the lake.

I love my little BB but I need a night or day out. I need a road trip or something... suggestions?..

  1. Before Grant I like dancing, mischief, parties, games, dating, making out, staying up late, sleeping in and everything else that goes with being in your early 20's After Grant I took pictures of only grant, I went with out buying myself new clothes for over a year, and I occasionally did my hair. After Hunter I became a stay at home mom, and quit even getting dressed most days, lost track of what dreams i used to have, and I never went dancing again. I still like mischief and parties. After Bracken girl I realize I am to tired to get dressed let alone put on make up. I get dressed up only if i am leaving the house and that is sometimes debatable. But all in all I wouldn't trade any of for all the world I love watching my babies grow, and seeing them learn and experience new things. I am more sarcastic than I ever was, I still like to tease and create mischief, and bedtime at 9 sounds like a dream come true. I wouldn't go back to who I was before my kids because they have made me a better person.
