Mommy of 2

I am a Mommy of two. To stand back and realize that is just nuts. Because in so many ways I still don't feel like I am in the adult world...that world I saw my own mom in when I was growing up. Despite having a mortgage, career, 401K, car payments, household chores that come with NO ALLOWANCE, and oh yeah: two children I need to care for and some how raise into adults...I still feel very non-tied down and young...which I think is a good thing.

I have been a mommy of 2 for 4 weeks to the day. And let me tell you: the adjustment has been a tough one...its one that I still struggle with everyday. But everyday gets easier...I have basically had to morph the mommy that I am. I have had to change the way I eat, change the way I get in the car, change the way I shower. I have had to be cognisent of my own behavior and the way I react to my toddlers seemingly new found needyness. I am no longer the person I was 4 weeks ago, nor am I the person I was yesterday. Everyday I am slowly morphing into this "mommy of two" as I adjust and change to adapt to my new "habitat"
