Can't sleep...

So tonight I made an awesome chocolate cake. Awesome. I got some laundry done. Equally awesome. Henry is going through a wonder week and teething so he's not in the best of moods. That's okay. I made my husband breakfast and lunch for tomorrow. I enjoy that too. But what I really want is to learn a new craft like knitting or crocheting. Make something with my hands again. I get an immense surge of pride when I make something with my hands and even more so if it's something I can give/sell to someone. I made an IG page for my hairbows and that was a bust. I guess I just need some me time that isn't a shower alone. Although some days it's the only me time I get. That's okay too because I'm a mother now and you make sacrifices as a mother for your children. Well, at least there should be some sacrifices. I'm starting to ramble but you get the point. I want to make again! I really don't care what it is either. Preferable something I can sell to bring even a little income into my home but that takes time. There's just so much I wand to do but I'm limited on time and resources. So I guess what I'm getting at is that I'm going to make a better effort to make something I'm proud of. Craft something useful and beautiful. Make time for me to just be me. Alexis. I am a mother and a wife and I cherish those titles, but I don't want to forget who I was and what made me happy.

   If you've made it this far into my post thanks for listening. It is currently 2am and sleep evades me once more. So I guess that's all for tonight. 

Oh and here's a picture of my awesome cake.

And my precious baby boy
