So I've had this blog account for a while now, but never did anything with it. And since all the mommies on my chat board are starting blogs, I figured I'd give in to the peer pressure and put this page to use. So this is my blog. I seriously doubt I'll update it often. Actually, knowing me, I'll update it regularly for about a month and then lose interest and thereafter it will be ignored except for the times when I'm seriously bored or procrastinating.
That's pretty much the way my life goes. I'll discover some new and exciting thing I want to put my creative energy into, research the hell out of it, stock up on whatever supplies I might need to begin my new endeavor, start a project and then about two days in, it'll lose its luster. My husband will tell you that I have hundreds of unfinished projects all over our house. Drives him nuts. I prefer to think it was the thought that counted. That's what they say, right?
Well, my life is kind of like that in general. Not just with projects. I'm nearly 30 years in now and I'm sensing a trend. Some might say it's a lack of focus. I prefer to think it's that I just haven't decided what I want to do when I grow up and I haven't quite realized yet that I've grown up. I'm married with two children in a little beige house in a big beige subdivision in the flat midwest. There are no spur of the moment happenings, no whirlwind trips across the world, no late nights that do not involve a sick child or a nursing pillow. No, life is just about as grown up as it can get. And I guess that means I am too. But yet, I still have no focus. Or perhaps my focus is on motherhood. And I guess that's good enough for now, since it's a pretty big project and the end results are pretty important. And I do enjoy the rewards. :) So long as I handle it ok, I can flounder around all I want in other aspects of life and still accomplish something great. Or so I like to think.
Again I'm rambling along, no real topic. But that's pretty much status quo for me.
I am...
I am every woman; every mother. No different from the others, except that at times I can be brutally honest. On one hand I love to see the best in everyone. But on the other, I prefer not to overlook the reality of the situation. I like to keep the peace, but I don't like to sugar coat it. What is, is. What will be, will be. I believe in truth and its ability to empower. This is my life- simple, nothing special, but everything real, as life should be.
