Blogging...it seems so...egotistical. As if someone out there might care to read my thoughts. Well, I enjoy reading other people's blogs, so who knows, maybe someone will care about mine.
Then it struck me. Long term, many years from now, my kids might care. Think the blog will still be here for them to read? Heck it is Google, it probably will be. Looking back I can tell you I would love to know what my mother was thinking and feelings as she raised all of her children and struggled with her new identity as a Mom vs. the old identity of smart, driven career woman....She tells me the times were different then and she was younger when she had her kids. But still, she graduated high school with my father and she was valedictorian and he was third. Then five years later she marries him, supports him as he gets his PhD, and soon after is a stay at home Mom for 10 years or more...
Sounds too much like my life.
Not easy to go from top of the class, top of the world, to laundress, milk cow and house cleaner.
So, that is what this blog is supposed to be about. Is it unique? Nah. But it's me, and so automatically it is different than you.
Come along for the ride.
