Mommy Much?

I need help and I am not exactly sure where to start!  Talan has become such a Mommy's boy and don't get me wrong I LOVE THAT TALAN LOVES ME but it's sometimes puts me in overload!  I mean, I get up in the morning get both myself and Talan ready, go drop him off at Daycare, go to work, get off, go pick him up...when we get home, we play and get ready for dinner then I give him a bath and sometimes take a bath with him, Please don't judge. Get things ready for the following day and then I go to sleep with him. Yes again don't judge but I am sleeping with him in his BIG BOY TWIN BED...and wake up and do it all over again.  He has become so attached to me it's crazy. Oscar is here to help but sure Talan will pay attention to Daddy for a simple 10 mins before its back to Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!  On days that I do take a bath or shower by myself I can't enjoy it because My Lil' Talanator is standing at the bathroom door crying because he just wants me.  How do I help him be more independent and not want or need me so much? Yes I get that he is only almost 2 so really is it possible or is it just a stage he is going through? Does anyone else feel this way or has experienced anything like this??  


Also, As I am sitting here alone at home because I got off early and came home first instead of picking Talan up and I am just soaking in the silence and just putting my feet up. I will soon go get him because Daycare likes us to wait til nap time is over and that ended at 2:30.

Anyhow, I was thinking that sometimes when we get married and have a family, we sometimes forget who we are not because we have forgotten but simply because we get so busy with life... I remember the days when I could just come home and do absolutely nothing and nap when I wanted and Oscar and I could just get in the car and go go go boy was that oh so nice but now its more than that when we have a small little human that is OURS, that is our responsibility, OUR NEW WORLD.  Its all about HIM. I wouldn't change it for the world because he has definitely completed our life's but I think it is very important to take time off of that BUSY LIFE and remember who we were and who we were and find ourselves every once in a while.  
We get so busy taking care of the little one that we forget to take care of ourselves and with that being said, I think I am going to began today!

Have a Happy Weds. Evening! Off to get Talan.....

My Favorite Things!

Feels great!

This weekend has been a good GREAT one.  Friday night we just stayed home because Daddy had to work Saturday, Saturday, while Daddy was at work, Mommy and Talan just stayed home and cleaned up and did laundry. Saturday evening we loaded up and went to our friends, Karen and Jamie's house for dinner- which included ribs, chicken, sausage, green beans and macaroni and cheese was delicious. Followed by desert- yummy strawberry cheesecake! It was a great time and great Food.  Thanks Guys.   When we got home Saturday night we made a pallet in the living room floor and the 3 of us slept there and well Cita too so I should say the 4 of us! We made a pallet last Saturday too and I think it would be fun to make it a tradition.  Since Talan has been going to daycare full time, I guess he is getting used to the schedule because now he is waking up early...I want my 9:30-10 am baby back...I guess I will have to settle with 7:30-8:30am baby for now.  Daddy got up and made breakfast this am and then I went to the gym with Karen. I haven't been to the gym in months but I must say it felt GREAT to workout and it was much needed. Hopefully I can go more often.  Now I am home and my two boys are napping peacefully together so I am blogging away!  Cheers to a GREAT weekend and feeling GREAT too!  Hope you all had  a wonderful weekend as well and I hope Mr. Blogger people straighten BLOG up! Happy Sunday!
