I have been absent for awhile, conflicted about where to take this little ol' blog of mine! I love the concept of blogging, I love the legacy it will leave for my girls some day, but I don't necessarily like the pressure I feel to write blogs that are not going to step on people's toes. I am a working mom, there are times when I feel like stay at home mom's just don't get those pressures, it is different then what they are going through but I don't ever want someone to feel like I am judging them or that I am minimizing there job as a stay at home mom, two different people two different journey's neither one better than the other, or harder than the other. But both hard in very different ways, I use to be a stay at home mom, and I have been a part time working mom and now I am a full time working mom, who knows what the future holds! LOL!! and then there is the pressure not to step on toes by discussing certain taboo topics, which we all know I love to talk about! LOL! I have family that do not "get" blogging, maybe they just don't understand it, it would seem you either like the blog world or you don't. Some view blog writing as a need for attention, I don't need attention, I get plenty of it, probably more than I would like! LOL! BUT I do love writing and I am not a very private person so writing on a blog is fun for me, especially if I can make someone laugh, or smile or feel better about their hairy girl chin, or there monster acting children! I have the philosphy of if you don't like what I am writing, don't read it, you don't have to understand me or agree with me :) I am here to entertain you with my stories of my made for a reality tv show life (without the camera's!! ). So I guess this post is a disclaimer, if you come around and read something that you don't like, don't get defensive, it probably wasn't written about you! but if you want to leave another viewpoint in the comments I would love the feedback! I want to embrace this blog, I want to use it as a sounding board for the book I am hoping to write someday soon and I want that written legacy for my kids!! So if you are here from my facebook page, sign on board as a follower as I will probably not be posting all my links on facebook anymore, I am going to just blog out here to the bloggy world, maybe pick up a few readers along the way maybe not, maybe I will be writitng to the dead space of the internet world and creating only an online journal of sorts for my kids! I am totally okay with that!!! So tata for now! Hope your evening is filled with a few giggles!! I shall leave you with a picture of my giggling girls, ya know since it has been awhile!!! I have to get back and post Caylee's bday blog too, thank goodness for the back date feature!
DeAnna, I love your blog. I do some blogging too. With ebbs and flows in the posting.... and I mostly do it for myself, because I like to put my thoughts in writing. I figure if someone reads it and gets blessed, or challenged or whatever... that's great. And if no one but me ever reads it, that's OK too. Like you, I am not very private, like to use it for a sounding board, and hope that it might be pieces of a book someday. Keep doing what you enjoy, write when you feel like it and not because you feel like you "ought to" ...and write about the things you are passionate about. We bloggers gotta be who we are! :)
