The Time Keeper -Part 2

Continuing with the RHOK in reading The Time Keeper:

Now we've read to Chapter 21 - We see the characters Dor, Nim, and Alli grow up - I know they are not gods but, I can't help to imagine the brothers Dor and Nim as Thor and Loki like (in the Avengers) -just how I picture them.  Anyway Dor continues to be a measurer of things and eventually measures time -something that struck me -he was the originator of time -he was "Ahead of his time - Consider the many phrases with that word time we use today -Pass time, Waste time, Kill time"  -etc. As I mentioned in my prev. post on this I couldn't imagine not having a schedule of the months, days, hours, and minutes. And it is strange being a stay at home mom because the days can vary from a busy trying to make it on time to this appt. or that event kind of day to a somewhat wasting time kind of day. At this point I don't necessarily identify with any specific character but, yet do also maybe see a glimpse of myself in some of them. As Sarah's story continues I can somewhat relate to that  -But, will talk about it more when we finish out the book -  Until next Time...

Bursting the baby bubble

Well, now that my son is officially 4 years old. I suppose I can't consider him a baby anymore.
But, as parents they will always be our babies though right?! I know 4 might seem a bit old to be thinking this- When do you consider them "not babies" anymore? I suppose it might be a case by case basis. I know I had some preconceived notions even about being a SAHM. I thought everyone gets a few weeks to live in that baby bubble full of late night feedings and subsequent tired;mommy brain. But,surely if I stay home for about a year or so then I can see about going back to work-etc. But, as some might know my son has dairy allergies not too severe but, at about 1 yr. old I was literally freaking out about the possibility of his 1st "real milk" experience or lack there of. And as time went by there were other anxieties not too mention potty training that we just got done with a few short months ago. And now I can't believe my son will be going to school soon! Now I can burst out of the baby bubble more and more -It's a little bit exciting and nerve racking at the same time. The past couple weeks I've been going to an exercise class -actually Zumba -it's really fun! I've gone out here and there with different things like mom's night out-etc. I might've lost a bit of myself and I know it's important not to fully lose ourselves in the baby bubble. So, here's to bursting the baby bubble -Who knows what all is in store...
