Yup. I'm gonna do it. I'm makin' a Blog.

For months now I have been considering writing a blog. Not because I’m a good writer or anything, or have any super helpful information to offer the world. But because I actually used to enjoy writing. Like, loved it. Almost majored in it. But then life got all busy and crazy and writing is not something I could be bothered with.

Actually, that’s a lie. I’m on Facebook waaaaay too often, and have apparently written on there enough to elicit the encouragement from some folks (the husband in particular) to actually take a stab at writing again. So I figure, if you don’t wanna read my blog, then don’t. It’s a free country (still....I think). If you would like to see a tiny sliver of just how crazy/flustered/happy/exhausted/silly my life is, then read on my friends, ‘cause this momma’s got a whole bunch of experiences to write down.

First, I should probably just point out that currently I’m a stay-at-home mom. “So you don’t work?” Seriously, why do people ask that question? “You’re absolutely right. I do not work. I sit on my keester all day and let my lil’ 17-month-old finger paint with his own poop, eat massive amounts of whatever he wants, and wait for daddy to bring home the bacon.” I work. At home. With a very demanding but loving, sweet little tyrant of a boy who looks insanely just like his handsome dad. Also, I’m knocked-up again. With another boy. And he’s gonna be awesome.

Actually, a lot of my writing is probably gonna be about things that have happened in this stage of our lives. Things I’m learning about being a wife, a mommy, and a Christian in this day and age.

“Oh no, she’s a....(gasp)....(eye-rolling)....Christian. Blech. Just click the lil’ red X at the top of the page now.” Yes, I am a Christian. Not like, crazy, Westboro-lets-hang-all-the-non-believers-and-throw-Bibles-at-them Christian. Just a Christian. I will probably write some stuff that deals with faith, religion, etc. So if that offends you, consider yourself warned. I love Jesus and I’m not apologetic about it either. But again, if you don’t like this bloggity-blog, don’t read it.

So, I’m a stay-at-home Executive Personal Assistant to my son, a Christian and whatever else in the way of roles God throws at me. It might help to know that right before I had a kid, I was in the Air Force. Doing something amazing. Crossing into the blue. Or whatever other recruiting slogan you may have heard. It was fun while it lasted. I got out (Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, Free at last!) but my husband is still active duty. So you can imagine all sorts of fun stories and odd situations have shaped the situations found herein.

Anyways, here goes my attempt at writing again. For fun. For the first time since high school...which was 9 years....yeah. Gonna stop right there for now.

Enjoy.
