Am I a Mom blogger? Good question. I am a Mom and I do write a blog so that would make me technically speaking a Mom blogger. But my kids are grown and as much as I love them they no longer do cutsie little things that I can write about…. okay they do but they just won’t let me write about it. I read many blogs written by young Mothers with kids under the age of 10 and I love that they have this outlet to express themselves not only as Mothers but as women. I don’t know if they appreciate this freedom of shared ideas and instant connection that you get from blogging, I envy them. When I was a young Mother there were days I felt isolated and disconnected with the world. My major topics of conversation were about Rose Petal Place and My Little Ponies and did I think it was okay for ’79 to cut ’80’s bangs while ’75 is trying to dunk ’88 head first into the toilet. I was desperate for adult conversation. To have had this blog to write in and be able to share thoughts and ideas with other women that I had things in common with would have been priceless to me. It is fun to read the other mom blogs and be reminded of my own life and laugh about it, but now I have more in common with their Mother’s (same age) because I have been there and done that. So back to the question, am I a Mom blogger. The answer is yes… I am just a senior member of the club.
Thanks to a little badgering encouragement from some of you I have decided to participate in 12 pairs Blogger Portrait Project. I am very nervous about this, after all I know nothing about her except that she is a talented artist who blogs. The project sounds interesting and I can’t wait to see how she interprets everything. The photos have been sent and there is no turning back now. Whenever I am anxious about doing something that is this frightening to me (I am a have control freak trust issues), I close my eyes and leap …..either it works out or I plunge to a horrible fate. I’m still breathing so I have a good history with this method…..here’s hoping my lucky streak continues.
Today I was checking my stats, like every day and I noticed that I had hit a milestone. You might not think of it as such but I am celebrating anyway. So somebody do a drumroll please……………… 100 comments. There it was just like that, not 99 or 105 but 100 even. So lift a glass and lets do the happy dance together….. I want pictures.
I'm a wife and a Mother of 4 grown children. I have 4 grandchildren who are my joy. This is my journey to rediscovering who I am. In other words, what comes after being a stay at home Mom. Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Daughter, Sister, Blogger, Writer, stubborn and opinionated, voracious reader and a seeker of truth in all things....in other words me.
