Finally, an Excuse to Blog
Tonight, I happened on this post by KB Squared. I've followed her blog almost since she started blogging, waaaay back in the day. You know, 2007.
Her touching thoughts about mommy blogging's earlier days got me reminiscing along with her, and I couldn't take my eyes off of her awesome artwork. It took nearly five minutes before I saw at the bottom of the bloggers' tombstone: "wondermom.com."
Whenever another blogger mentions my blog, that she connected with my writing... I get all happy. Rainbows and butterflies appear all around my head, and I hug everyone around me, saying, "I love you, man," and weeping a little.
So yes, I'm drunk on a blog compliment. I'm a blog compliment lush.
For awhile all my posts would have been angsty self reflection or tales of massaging people at the school clinic. Which, in hindsight, doesn't sound so uninteresting.
However, I do have some upcoming blog fodder. This fall, we will begin homeschooling (most likely) all three of our kids (I'm pretty sure).
I've realized, Facebook is fine for brain farts. But I miss blogging. I'm going to blog again.
Come, watch as we tell our kids that that we're really homeschooling, causing them to freak the hell out. See my rose-colored glasses get all greasy, scratched, and ultimately crushed by my own mini-van as I speed away from my home screaming.
I'm trying to look at the positives.
Thanks, KB, for the shout out, for inspiring me to post, and for remembering me. I know only geek bloggers from 2004 put emoticons in there blog posts, but:
