For years I’ve been attempting to blog, but have never quite been able to get started and stay consistent with it. For me, it’s a lot like journaling, but it just seemed a little to complex or frilly — and there’s always the privacy issue. But lately, I’ve been really intrigued by starting up again and committing to it. I don’t know if it’s due to the fact that I just can’t seem to find time to actually sit down and write manually in a journal or that there are some ideas, some personal journeys, some trials and some joys I’d simply like to share. So, last night, I decided I would start blogging. I actually began to write in a blog I had previously opened with another account, but then there was this whole 3 1/2 year gap with that blog that made me uncomfortable. How do I take the same blog with all that time and space in between the first post and the current post and just start back up without having to go back and relive everything that has happened in 3 1/2 years?! That’s just me. So, after copying and pasting the following from that blog (below), I will now start a clean slate and begin a new blog which will hopefully be cathartic for me and potentially fun to read for others with absolutely nothing else better to do.

I’ll begin with just saying that I love my little clan. We just got done with a bad stomach virus that literally wiped out each and every one of us one by one. I would stay we’re still not 100% back in biz, but we’re getting there!
My almost 3 year old is saying some pretty funny things as of late that I’d like to share before I forget to write them down:
1. Today he wanted a piece of candy corn and a “black candy” (brown peanut M&M). I gave him both and then he tried to get another one out of me. “A green one now, please,” he said. I said he had to wait until after lunch and he said, “NO! I want it now!!!! A GREEENNNNN one!!!” I stood my ground and said, “I’m sorry, but not until after lunch!” Then he said very seriously, “I want to hit somebody!” (this is exactly how I feel when I don’t get my chocolate fix!)
Anyway…I had to get that out there for now and just get started writing. I promise to be a little more interesting the next time I write and hopefully eventually find a niche that suits me. For now, I’ll leave it at this and say “Good night!” It’s been a long, sick weekend/week and I’m ready for BED!!
