3 Dfferent People

I am Taylor, I am Bret's wife, and I am my kids mom,  but most of the time that is not the order that my life follows.  I really think of myself as mom, wife, and then Taylor.  Sometimes when I actually hear my name "Taylor" it sounds foreign to me!  I'm not Taylor anymore I am mom,  plain and simple.  But in reality it's not plain and simple!  Don't get me wrong I love being a mom, but it's not easy.  Easy is not really in my vocabulary.  But I have found out I really need balance, and I know how to give myself the balance I need.  I really do have to take care of me "Taylor" and when I do take care of me, I am a better mother and wife.  My day begins with taking care of children and ends with spending time with my wonderful husband, I find myself somewhere in between.  For example when I workout,  that is just for me and me alone.  I feel so proud of myself and accomplished when I'm done.  Or going to the grocery store all by myself.  I know it might sound lame but I LOVE Super Walmart!  I can go and spend an hour all by myself looking and shopping!  It's something I love to do, I'm alone to my thoughts and what I want to do.  This doesn't happen very often, but when it does I'm in heaven. :p  To be honest I am really enjoying my life lately, all the craziness, and the fun.  Bret has changed I have changed and we are doing good!

Working out

So I have decided to start working out again. It's been a long time since I really tried to get into shape. Now that I have started working out I feel so great! I have so much more energy that I never had before. Even though I'm still not getting very much sleep, working out gives me the boost I need to get through the day. I really do feel so much better it's amazing what exercise can do! I feel happier, I have more energy, my house is cleaner, and can't wait until morning comes so I workout again. I don't think I have ever really loved to workout EVER. But now I do and I hope it lasts for a long time! Aww good times, good times.

Change for the better

It's been a long time since I last posted anything on my blog but a lot has happened! All things for the better! Carson has just gotten so big and he is just the cutest baby ever! He's crawling around every where and is now furniture surfing. He also calls me mama which I just melt every single time....it's just the sweetest thing ever! Landon is back in pre-school which he loves! and to be honest I love too! Bret takes him to school at 9am which is also Carson's nap time...so that leaves me and Audrey time to just hang out together. She loves having me all too herself and we do something she wants to do....like color together, or we did some pre-school work which she loved.

The big thing that happened was Bret my hubby decided to stop playing computer games which was a huge deal! He loves to play but he just simply spent too much time playing and it took time away from us, our little family. It's been so great! It's been so much fun just to spend so much time together as the two us and also with the kids. Like he said to me yesterday "You know I really love talking to you." I love to talk so this makes me feel great! We really have grown a lot closer and we are a lot more happy! Life is going to good right now I love it!
