on several new hats. One being returning to work full time. That
particular hat was too tight, not the right color and really didn't
suit me, my family or my writing addiction. However, I did like the
style. So I kept that in mind as I attempted to try on a new hat of
similar style but with more pay, fewer hours and family friendly. I
will actually try this hat on for the first time on Monday so look for
Tuesday's posting!
With that in mind I will quickly recap the world of motherhood from
Christmas till now mid February. In short, we've all been sick. I have
fumigated the entire house at least three times in the past couple of
weeks. Just when I think it's safe to come out of my airlocked safety
suit and oxygen breathing apparatus, someone else contracts something.
In our household alone we have had three cases of strep, 2 colds, 3
cases of the flu and one ear infection. My pediatrician will probably
be sending me flowers this year for putting her children through
college.
Another hat I have tried on is the return to musical theater. I did
this in high school and truly enjoyed it. I just finished a show and
have already signed up to do another. (Look for show tunes to be
belted out during the writing of this blog.) The last show I did
involved my whole family, except my two year old. It was really fun!
My current show is just for me. It's been very fulfilling. It was
wonderful to see my children enjoying the theatre like I do and of
course I was a proud Mama watching them perform. It is also nice as a
mom to pick up a hobby I truly enjoy and that leaves me feeling sated
emotionally. And that is a hat that fits very well that I intend to
keep and wear often.
As moms we often wear many hats and sometimes wear several in the same
day. It is important to know the styles and colors that best
suit you. It is important to know that sometimes it's okay to put down
a hat that is beckoning to you. And that somedays it is just fine to
go without a hat at all!
