Becoming a mom has changed my life in more ways than I would have ever thought. More than the words-can’t-describe-it love. More than the sleep deprivation and those crazy days when you want to scream.
Motherhood has completely changed my outlook on life. My old priorities: career. Work hard, nose to the grindstone, get a prestigious career, buy a fancy house, have kids, do it all. I’ve recently discovered that I don’t want to do it all. Not at all.
What do I want? Life to slow down. To be more present, in the moment, my brain not thinking about work when I’m at home and family when I’m at work. I want the slow and relaxed pace that life had when I was on maternity leave.
So we’ve made the decision that after I graduate (sometime at the end of 2015), life is going to slow down. If we can afford it, I will work part-time. Dinner won’t be a freak-out. Week-ends will be for family time, not chores. And hopefully, I can get to the place where I live in the moment and enjoy all the wonderful things that I have in my life.
