How do you do it?

confession: I want my brain back
I don't quite know where to look for it or what I would do with it once I have located it. I have posted about this in a round about way before. Something about the motherhood gig leaves me wanting more. It seems so wrong to admit that I am not completely satisfied by this immensely challenging and rewarding task (read: all consuming and bang-your-head-against-the-wall-frustrating task). Guys, raising kids is hard work, raising two girls a year and a half apart is hard work. It just doesn't stop and the pay back for doing a good job goes straight back in your pocket (or your tantrum free trip to the mall say) so you just keep on trying. Consistency takes a lot of effort and that means that you will be paying attention to the little things, carefully choosing what to ignore and what to address. What to adress with distraction or a 'chat' or humour. So many micro decisions all the time. What I am trying to say is that, there is not a lot of space left in my brain for other stuff. It's funny, when I imagine working I think about a job in a call centre or at Bunnings! It seems like you could almost go to work and switch off your brain for a while! That sounds heavenly. But that isn't going to happen any time soon. Do you only get some perspective with a chance to relax? I can't see this happening soon either?! So how to get some head space back? Creative types I envy you and your drive to create! So far I have ordered 5 books from the library and only one of them is about parenting. That's a start I guess...
