I wonder if there is a Blogging for Dummies manual out there somewhere. I think I could really use it. I never know what to say in order to get started. Millions of opinions and observations are rolling around in my noggin and yet I feel that were I to just start typing them down those of you who would happen to stumble across my ramblings while not knowing from whence they spouted would assume they were the ravings of a madman. Course, I'm not assured that by introducing myself I would convince anyone of my seeming sanity.
It's a conundrum.
I am currently a stay at home mom. I've one last fledgling who will join their scholarly brethren next autumn, leaving me to an empty house. Oh sure, I'll still have the mountains of laundry a family of six mange to mount in very little time. Plus the usual grocery store trips and general errand running. Not to mention the soccer mom chores that accompany having children of varying ages, grades,and interests. However, after being a stay at homer for what will be 14 years....whew.
My feelings bout that are comparable to a kite on a string. Strung out tight at times, soaring high with possibilities before depressingly diving, unable to catch a breath in the stagnant air, toward the rocky ground hoping to be lifted back up by a fresh breeze of insight.
I love kites.
So in an effort to somehow maintain a smidgeon of sanity, I thought- Why not blog?
I have friends who have taken to the blogging world and I read their entries regularly. And though I have no expectations that I will do this blogging thing nearly as well as they, I do hope that this gives me a chance to reflect on and possibly answer those inner musings and questions that crop up every so often.
So that I don't end up talking aloud to all those voices in my head.
On a side note- I tend to type as I think and speak. Meaning that- grammar and puncuation are likely to be....appalling. A few asteriks may even make their way into my text. Just giving you fair warning. You read at your own risk.
