I think it's easy when you're a Mom to become pretty self absorbed. Well not so much self aborbed as family absorbed. I know these days I am. Abby absorbed. Maya absorbed. Maya and her sleep issues are leaving me sleep deprived. Abby starting school has me panic strickened. The two of them eat up most of my day. They eat up most of me. That's not a complaint in any way, but it does mean that my life has been streamilined. Things and friends have fallen by the way side.
Every once in a while the stars align and I get a small piece of my old life back. The one where I had friends of my own. Last Saturday found me blissfully alone. Well almost alone. Maya was here with me, but napping. In that small window of free time I managed to sneak a phone call into Darlene. It was great to have to chance to chat and catch up with her. I have missed her so much. That's probably the only thing that's been sucky about being on maternity leave. Missing the girls from work. I went from spending 40ish hours a week with them to zero in the blink. The good and the bad news is I'll be back there with them before I know it.
