It is Monday morning in early November and the wind is roaring at speeds of 65 mph outside our Pacific Northwest home. My two oldest girls are gone at play dates and my 4 month old is fast asleep. My husband is at work. I am here enjoying the first couple of hours I have had to myself in I don’t know how long. So I have born a blog. A blog I have been thinking about starting for a year now. I have been trying to decide what exactly I would blog about and have decided not to pigeon hole myself.
I have started this blog without telling anyone I know. I am hoping this will achieve a certain amount of honesty on my part. Because I need a safe place to proclaim “I don’t like my 6 year old today” when she has pushed me to the brink of my motherly patience. Or maybe it’ll be “I absolutely despise my in-laws!” when my mother-in-law comes to my house for only the third time in 10 years only to denounce my parentlng and tell me there is something clinically wrong with my 9 year old! Or it might be “I have the greatest husband ever!” even though I don’t want him to think too highly of himself, that I would proclaim it to the world in a blog. This way no one will no…except me and you!
I hope you will leave me notes along the way about the seasons in your life too. This way we can celebrate or commiserate together. Who knows what this new season of blogging will bring. Here’s hoping…
