After trying (failing) to resuscitate this blog three times in past years, I've decided to give it one more go.
I did well enough to write on a semi-regular basis in my last years of college and immediately thereafter - but something about having a new baby, and then a toddler and another new baby, that just wasn't conducive to keeping up with my personal writing. Let's be honest - it often wasn't conducive to regularly-timed showers, eating from an actual plate, or peeing with the door closed either.
During my absence here, I've spent more than six years writing about my kids in scrapbook-fashion on another site. It started as a way for the grandparents to stay up-to-date on the latest news, and has become an elaborate baby book to be printed out for the kids when they're old enough to appreciate an encyclopedia-sized account of their childhoods. But with my limited free time, I lost the opportunity/ability/inspiration/etc. to write for myself.
But now here I am, with one child in kindergarten and the other having learned the joys of playing on his own for full minutes at a time - and I feel like I'd like to find my own voice again.
I can't promise that I'll write every day, but I'd like to challenge myself to get something posted at least once or twice a week. I've always loved to write; it was always a favorite part of my education and I'd hoped it would remain a part of my life. It's up to me to make that happen.
If nothing else, I've gotten a few chuckles going back and reading posts from way back when... in another eight years or so, I'll be able to dig out these latest ramblings and reminisce some more... 6:18 PM //
