So I have been advised to "get a hobby". I am not even really sure what a hobby is anymore, which is probably why my advisor asked me to concentrate on finding one.
Everything that comes to mind that I could do in my "spare" time just makes me tired thinking about it. I used to love to scrapbook and stamp cards, but I really don't do that as much anymore because then I have to clean up the huge mess it creates. When you spend your day keeping up with two men, one tall, one short and working and keeping a house as together as you can, adding something else you have to "clean up" is not an attractive idea.
It is all this work that got me into this in the first place. I feel like I lost myself a little this last year. I am sure this is normal, but I am not happy with it. I feel like I have not personality anymore. I have nothing to talk about with my husband because I don't do anything interesting. I wake up with the baby. We hang out and eat breakfast, then I put him to bed. I run out the door to work. Then I come home and make dinner, and get big Erik out the door to work. Then I feed the baby, give him a bath. We play. Then I put him to bed. Then I normally clean the house, or work.
I love my life. I love the job I have taking care of my guys. I love these guys so much. I just have to find some kind of fun hobby so I have something of my own. So I will continue to love taking care of my guys. It needs to be fun and creative, but not too much mess. Any Suggestions?

Ah yes, the ol' "get a hobby." You are not the first woman/mother that has been told to do this. I, too, struggle with this. I have never really had any TRUE hobbies, so it's hard for me to suggest one to you. I have always filled my spare time with activities, and I think that is different than having a hobby. Maybe there is a "What should your hobby be?" test that we can take to help guide us..what do you think?
