The word surreptitious has got to be my favourite word in the English language. It means obtained, done, or made by stealth or in secret. I used to love the word for its poetic imagery but now that has taken on a whole new meaning as a mother.
I just gave birth five weeks ago to my little boy River Isaiah, add to that my three year old daughter Maia and I have not much time to myself but I am crying inside for time to create, create my own personal imagery in my art and also create beautiful things for my daughter and my family. Time I have to steal.
I find I am so much happier when I am creating something and now that I am trying desperately to lose the baby weight, I find I also lose the craving to eat things I shouldnt when I am working on something. Now if I could only find the time, between doing dishes, laundry, cooking, cleaning, and of course spending precious and loving time with my children, I have all these ideas spinning around in my head that need to get out...
