It's about time

 So I'm back online blogging about the things that matter to me, trying to capture a piece of our busy life so one day I can look back and sigh, remembering the little things that seem to slip by in the daily grind. I was really inspired three days ago, and then the desire just sort of slipped away (again) or was that because  I became busy being a taxi driver, chef, mediator, nurse, therapist, and Mom to five busy kids that I  just never found the time?
 I LOVE to read blogs, and have gained so much insight from the ones I’ve read over the years, or even a good daily laugh that is often needed when I'm stressed.

My initial point of this blog (2 years ago) was an outlet while my husband was deployed, and a way to keep in contact with family. Unfortunately things in my life at that time became so chaotic not just with being a single mom of five while hubby dearest was deployed, but with my grandmother’s chronic illness, the drastic move while hubby was deployed, dealing with less than understanding individuals that were related, and worrying myself sick about the safety of my husband, and eventually the dramatic change in my life with the death of my grandma, then dealing with my wonderful Mr. Amazing, who came home from the land of hell Iraq, followed the sudden death of a young mother & friend leaving behind a 8 month old blessing, then when things seemed that they couldn’t get much worse, we were handed the unexpected death of my uncle who was on a fishing trip alone went missing & his body wasn’t found until 17 days later. All of it just became too much, seemed to leave me in a state of despair with nothing positive to even blog about and I shyed away from putting it "out there". I look back over the few postings I did manage to make public with remorse because I wish I had wrote more, even if only for myself. I wish I had blogged more about the times I spent with my grandma before she passed away. Reading the words from the days I spent with her are like a moment of time captured forever. Oh how I wish I had not been so reserved, the lessons I could have reminded myself of, the laughs I would have captured in print (well sort of), and the love I could have forever revisited whenever I wanted.



So because of the regrets of not being the open, loving person I really am, I'm back to blogging. I don't particularly believe I will post any earth shattering solution to a problem, or start the latest internet craze from one of my ideas, or even be much above normal family life but that's fine by me. The blogs I've enjoyed most are from friends I know (in real life even) and from families who deal with the same struggle, laughs, and shared interests that I do.

So sit back and read at your own will, I will take a ride on the blogging wagon again, and let's see how far the road takes me this time!
