Yes, I am blogging.

I’m feeling a bit radical right now. So what do I do with the radness? I decide to start blogging. Yes you can giggle….ok laugh if you must…..ok, that’s enough. Is it really that funny? Of course it is because I am by no means a writer. Even in an alternate universe where I am the most talented woman in existence writing would not be at the top of the list. My husband, he is the writer. He is the one with the gift of words, with the witty remarks and the insightfulness. Me? I just think about the things that I want to say, the things that I want to convey but I never actually do because the words get stuck and I just end up babbling incessantly and talking in circles until even I am confused and have no idea what the original topic of conversation was.  See, I’m doing it now. Where were we? Let me re-read what I wrote so that I know where I was going….Ah yes, blogging.

So here is the thing. I was getting updated on my 20/20 episodes the other day and saw a story on a woman who happens to be a mommy blogger http://www.nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/ who I found to be incredibly inspirational and courageous. So I started checking out her blog which lead to checking out other mommy blogs and realized that this is a much more in depth way of keeping in touch with family and friends and with making new friends then forums such as Facebook, which has by the way become utterly boring and full of minute by minute complaints and boring updates. Harsh words but true. I want to know more about people and their lives. I want to know the fun and beauty of their families along with those times that they want to rip their hair out or wish for a mute button for their children (don’t deny you have this thought on daily basis). Why do I want to know all of this? Because I am a mom. Because I am going through the same thing and because life is so busy it is nearly impossible to make time for a girls night out or to even maintain relationships to have a girls night out. Or if you are like me you feel guilty having a girls night out because you are gone working in an office 10 hours a day away from your family and feel that every other moment should be spent with your family. It is a seriously brutal circle.

So here I am…trying my hand at blogging. I give myself two goals with this new endeavor. To try to write at least once a week and to try to keep it up for two months. As my husband likes to say “Hold onto your butts!” This is gonna be a bumpy ride.
