People have been asking how I got started blogging. I started after my son was born as an easy way to keep in touch with friends and relatives spread throughout the US.
My blog went from daily family updates to the occasional rant to the utterly embarrassing. It became my outlet. My "cheap therapy". Below is a post from my personal blog.
I was having a bad day.. well actually a bad week. Nothing was going my way and I was in the middle of a major "Mommy rut". I sat down at my keyboard while my kids were napping and started to type everything that made me..me. I printed this post and have it hanging above my desk. Whenever I am having a blah day I look at and it makes me feel better. I remember who I was/am and it gives me a chance to laugh at my silliness.
Take a look.. then write your own. Email it to me if you would like to share.
