It's time.

It's 11:24 pm.

While nursing my baby to sleep, I did something I have not done in a while--blog-hopped--and stumbled upon a post by another new mom about taking time out of her very full day to do something for herself, something beyond her role as a mom and wife, something that she loves.

She's right. And it's time.

It's time I do the same. It's time to revive this experiment. It's time to learn how to be this new person without losing the old one.

It's 11:31 pm. Baby is asleep on my lap. I am typing with one hand, even as I feel my neck begin to cramp from the strain. But it's time.
