This post might be a bit of an Ode to Blogging. I started blogging shortly after I met and started dating my husband, John. At first I just loved getting my ideas and thoughts out there, but I soon discovered an entire world of people out there blogging their lives away, too! Lately I have searched through millions of mommy/family blogs thanks to BlogHer, and found people who I thank GOD for. Why? You may ask? Well, on a daily basis I can find someone whose baby won’t sleep or who feels guilty about not being able to get to the housework. I’ve found women who explain their desire to work AND be a Mom and people who think they might be going a bit crazy (don’t worry you’re not). Just today I found someone else (thanks for commenting) who watched Gilmore Girls. Yes. Then there are the insanely hopeful blogs in which couples travel, even to foreign countries, with their children, or do insanely crafty things with their kids and have interesting friends. And the, of course, there are the few blogs that make me want to buy an insanely expensive camera….and the ones that are irreverent and whose archives contain just what I need after I get another phone call asking me if I need another casserole from someone who I’m pretty sure doesn’t even like me. In short, blogging helped me through my pregnancy and is now a welcome, quick break that I can take between feedings and before bath time. I love the aspects of blogging that allow me to “confess” my thoughts and actions to the world and think through different decisions. So, blogging community, keep on going. Because tomorrow I’ll need something new to read.
