Beginning

I used to blog. I'm not sure why I stopped. My only thought is that life got in the way. Isn't that how it always is? Every day is full of, "I should be doing this" or "Why don't I do that?" and before you know it, it's eight months later, and you still haven't done what you set out to do.

I'd like to think that people care about what I have to say. I'm not naive enough to believe that, so I'll just blog for myself. Maybe it will be therapeutic. I'd like to think it might be a stress reliever. I've always been good at writing, so maybe I can use one of my strengths to help me deal with my weaknesses.

If I think about it. I kind of want to use this as a journal. Both the story of my life, and the day-to-day bits and pieces of raising two children. I express myself better when I write than when I speak. Yay me.

So some days, this may just be a rant about the latest test we've faced in parenting. Other days, maybe it will be a little piece of my journey to better understand myself. But I know one thing...I'd like this to be genuine, a true representation of the person I am, and the person I am still learning to be.

Maybe I'll be successful, maybe not. But if all else fails, I'll have some interesting reading to look back on, right?
