I think I have settled in to the working-wife-and-mommy role quite nicely, though I have really lost sight of one thing during the
transformation - ME. I do look presentable every day for work - makeup, styled hair, accessories, perfume, etc. And I habitually load used bottles and dishes into the dishwasher every night, wash and fold baby laundry, pack the day care bag and put it by the front door, pick up the house before turning off the lights in the great room....blah, blah, blah. You get the picture. I do not, however, do the following anymore.....ever (Okay, rarely.): browse Target, get pedicures, read for pleasure, email friends, watch one consecutive hour of TV, work-out, write creative blogs, tinker with my home's decor, make meals that aren't processed.....
There are not enough hours in the day, Ladies.

AMEN.
I am totally with you. However, it does get better. Our children are not 2 1/2 and while I don't do any of those things like I used to. I do them and enjoy them so much more now when I get the time--- pedicures especially! Unfortunately, it is not really a transition so much as an ever changing adventure to become the "Mommy Me" or as Madeline says "Mommy Billee". Good luck with your adventure. Billee :)
One day, our kiddos will be gone and we will be so sad that we have so much time to browse through Target - and by then we won't need anything! I have to tell myself that a lot...and I am adding one more to the mix which will cut browse time even more!
