Well, after JoeGirl left me a message to check in on me (thanks Joe!!!) and make sure I was ok I realized that I have been neglecting my blog in a bad way.  I got into blogging not so long ago and I just love it.  Before blogging, I was one of those people who had no idea what I wanted to do with my life.  I switched my major in college about 4 times before I just settled on Social Work which is a very important profession but is just not the right one for me.  I have had so many jobs, outside of being stay at home mom which I love, yet nothing seemed to stick.  I just couldn’t find my niche in life and many times I felt lost.  But then I found blogging and something just clicked.  I really felt like blogging could become not only a hobby but a job I loved.   

     I used to have such a creative side.  I would write short stories and my brain was always going.  But then life took over and some of that was lost.  Since having kids I can’t just stop what I am doing to write down thoughts that pop into my head and I can’t stay up all night writing when I know the next morning I will have to be up bright and early.  Sometimes I stop and think what the heck happened?  My brain is now molasses and doesn’t just flow freely like it used too.  It is almost as if I have to think where as before things just came to me.  Yet, this blog in many ways has become my new creative outlet.  Since I have been blogging again I find my creativity is returning slowing but surely. 

     However, as much as I would love to be able to blog everyday my new found love has to take a backseat at times.  Right now my husband has been working overtime and as much as I would love to tell him to put his work on hold I can’t because his work actually makes us money where as my blog at this point in my life is just for personal benefit.  Lately by the time I get the kids to bed, workout, take a shower, and nurse my son it is 11 and I just don’t have the energy to get a blog out. 

      I hope you all understand and I hope you continue to stick around even if my posting is erratic at times.  I really have enjoyed getting to know all of you and learning new information from your blogs.  It has been such a wonderful experience that I don’t want to lose any of you!  I will really try my best to keep up with things and drop by your blogs as often as possible.  Thanks again to all of you for sticking with me!
