Maybe this "blogging" thing isn't for me??

Perhaps the fact that I posted once should clue me in that this blog thing isn't MY thing.  That one post happened 7 months ago...  that should be another clue.  But alas, here I am again for some reason.  I'm not sure what I'm looking to accomplish, but I do like to write...  and I do like to talk about myself (arrogant much?).  So, here I am.  Hoping someone will read along.  Anyone out there??

So this is my life lately...  I'm sick.  Both in the literal and figurative sense of the word.  A nasty cold has taken control of me and I have not been a happy camper.  Just to make life lots more fun, my sweet (?) 2 year old has a double ear infection.  She has NOT been a joy to be around lately.  AND, to be sure I have absolutely no chance of speedy recovery, my two online stores  have finally started seeing more traffic...I have had non stop orders coming in this month.  No downtime for this sick-o.  Gotta keep on keeping on...  but I sure would like a nap.  A nap and a clean house.  Let's face it, neither one of those things is happening anytime soon!  I'm sick of being sick...  I really don't think it's fair that moms can get sick.  With all that still needs to be done and all of the other noses that still need to be wiped, we should be completely immune somehow.   The Immunity Fairy should just show up the moment you become a mom and sprinkle her magic dust over your head.  I was apparently skipped by that fairy...  in fact, I think the only fairy that sprinkled any dust over my head was the Gray Hair Fairy.  Could've done without that dusting, thankyouverymuch.

So with that, I leave you.  The family is hungry and this sick mama has to drag her ever expanding butt off of the sofa to go feed them.  Maybe I'll write again before another 7 months goes by!

Getting started...

I hate to think I've become a follower.  I mean, sure I follow other blogs.  I follow the news (usually).  I feel like I'm constantly following my 2 year old around to prevent some form of disaster from happening.  So here I am now...following in the footsteps of all of the many, many bloggers who have come before me.  I never ever thought I'd start my own blog... but darn it, EVERYone else is doing it so why not me??  Well, maybe because there's nothing special for me to share.  I'm just a mom.  Though that statement alone is a loaded one.  I realize that being "just a mom" means being so many things.  So maybe there's more to me than I think... and maybe through this blog I can help myself discover what more there is.  Then maybe, just maybe, someone else will discover my blog...and maybe even (gasp!) be able to relate to it.  That's a lot of maybes!  I'm going into this without any high hopes, that's for sure...but I think it might be fun!  If anyone out there decides to read along with me and my crazy thoughts then welcome aboard!  I hope you find it worth your while.  :)
