Time Flies

Wow. How long has it been since I started this blog, and then life took over and I never came back...  until now.



I was never a good blogger, a good writer or journalist. When they gave us those assignments in school to write something every day - about anything - just write one page a day, I would cheat. Seriously. (Sorry Ms. Platt, CHS English Teacher) I mean it's not really cheating when you're doing your own work, but I wouldn't write every day. I couldn't. I would never remember and I was always tossing ideas back and forth of what was interesting and what was not and what I wanted to write on and ...SQUIRREL!


Anyways, on those assignments, I would sit down and write right away. I was always gung-ho at first. I would write 7, 8, 10 pages even in one sitting and then turn in just one page at a time. It would cover me until I got in the mood to write again and then I'd binge write 10 more pages or whatever.


So blogging shouldn't be that different, right? Wrong.


Being that its online, you have to remember what site were you on? What was your sign-on? What was your password? And it's not exactly like you can just carry the computer around with you to jot down notes whenever you like, although I am finding technologically savvy ways to do that now.
So anyways, long story short or short story shorter... I'm back and I'm going to try to stay back because while some of these post I might put online for others to read, this is mostly about me. Memories I want to keep about my kids. Events that happen in my life.


And since I don't really have that special kind of friendship with anyone, you know, the kind where you've known each other for years, you can sit out on the patio and have a drink confessing how you're a poor excuse for a mother, or how you husband ticks you off, what profound thing you read on a refrigerator magnet yesterday, or how you secretly binge eat mini chocolates in your car on the way to the gym... well, this is my that. It's my place to write out what's going of inside of me so I can look back on it and figure something out.


So there you have it.
