Let’s just clear this up right off the bat: Here is what this blog is NOT:
“Breaking News: Working Mom Starts a Blog to Document Totally Unique Point of View!”
Yes, I am a working mom but I don’t really label myself as such. My point of view? It’s probably not THAT unique. I most definitely have not experienced anything in a way that someone, somewhere has not also experienced. BUT I’M FUNNY! So there’s that. And I’m an Army wife, so that cuts the population of people who are in my shoes down to 2%. Also, I’m taking care of my 18-month old while carrying our second child all while my husband is serving overseas. SO… ok, ok, it’s a little unique. But not totally unchartered territory for Army wives (another label I don’t strongly identify with. I’m a really bad Army wife. I have baked zero things for our unit and I’ve never even decorated one poster with a flag on it. I know, right?)
So, why start a blog? What does it all mean? I guess it really comes down to the fact that I am a story teller, formally by trade, currently by hobby. I also watched more TV than you think would be possible for someone with such little free time; sometimes just because I’m too lazy to grab the remote and turn it off. I feel this will be a good motivator to ween away from this unhealthy habit, though admittedly Dateline NBC is on as I type this. (Don’t worry you guys, I’ve already seen it. The janitor totally did it.)
Finally, this has been the craziest year of my life. Deployed husband, growing child, growing child inside of me, new job, new CAR! I feel I would regret not documenting this chaos and I figure i can make sense of it later.
Just remember- I have no idea what I’m doing, in this blog and in life. So, let’s get on with it, shall we?
