Motherhood

So for all my classmates and friends who are stay at home parents or who are single parents I really feel that you would like this movie called Motherhood. Motherhood is about a mom played by Uma Thermand who has two children an husband with a career but she feels that she is lacking something. When I saw this movie I could relate to her position with the views of being a mother. It really made me think about my situation how I felt before Kaplan University. I am a mother of two who decided not to work due to lack of childcare and my sons condition. So with that agreement my husband took on two jobs until he was able to stick with one that was financially better for us. The problem with this is that I put myself aside to give my family all... which I am not saying I would change. Its just sometime stay at home parents forget who we are as a person. I was craving to understand who "Kathy" is or was. So sitting in line at the Social Security office while being talked to like I was someone just living off my son's disability check; put it all in perceptive to me. The only person who could change me was me! I cried in the cry for a good hour because I had never been spoke to like I was worthless and that's exactly how I felt. Please dont think it was because I was stuck at home with the kids or my husband never gives me any attention. That was not the case I just felt like I was no one just a mom thats all. That was my title mom. Not that mom was being bad it was the idea of a unhappy women who never put herself first. If you can understand what Im trying to say. so I remember on of old buisness partner who's wife is or was a math professor for kaplan as a part time job while her husband traveled around in business trips she would go where he was but still teach. So I applied online to Kaplan University and was excepted a week later. I told no one because I didn't want the comments of are you sure you could handle this.... So when I started it was hard at first untill I figured out a schedule that works for me. After the first term was over and was offered honors classes (that I did not take) due to fact that I all ready had my hands full I did not want to put to much on my plate. I felt great! I feel like im a super multitasking mom who can do anything.... My point is If momma isnt happy the house is not happy. So just put yourself first once a week 2x a month go get a manicure, pedicure, go get your done or even if its volunteering at the hospital. Just take the time to make you happy.
