what am I doing?

Seriously? Who in the world do I think I am? Certainly not a blogger. All I know is that if anyone in my immediate family knew that I was sitting here "blogging", of all things, they would a) laugh hysterically (my 20 and 23 yr. olds), b) be embarrassed (my 14 yr. old) or c) figure out a way to sabotage my new laptop so I'll stop this nonsense (my husband). Anyway, I'm more than just a mom, grandmom, and wife and if this is what I want to do, dadgummit, I'm gonna do it. So there.
Great blog, huh?

  1. Hi, thanks for popping over to my blog. Afraid you caught me at a bad time, my blog isn't always that moany! I get depressed from time to time, and blogging is a bit of a release. It's also the place to confess to things like having a crush of a fictional vampire!!! If I said that out loud I'd be commited! I hope we'll see more of you. If you like Cornwall there's a blog on my list called walking intrests. Maria is a good friend who walks a lot round here and then writes about it.

  2. Welcome to blogging, i love to read and currently don't have the time to add to my blogs. I simply must this weekend as so many things have happened recently - nothing too exciting though.

  3. Thank you for the kind comment ~ it makes me feel less wierd about this whole blogging thing! To write your thoughts down and know that they're in the public domain, is a little scary. However, the opportunity to 1) indulge in some "me" time and write whatever I want and 2) to have the opportunity to talk to peoople like you whose lives are so different than mine yet whose experiences might be similar in some cases, is just WAY too appealing to me. Thanks again for the nice welcome!

  4. claire p ~ don't apologize for being "moany"; you need a release for all that you're going through. When my mom was critically ill a couple of years ago, my then 21 yr. old son, B, was going through a horrific manic episode (was diag. bipolar when 17 yrs)and it was just awful. I felt like an automaton, just going thru the motions. I'm so sorry for all your struggles and I sure hope your dad improves and that your son is able to sleep well.

  5. yo are damn right. you should go after what you want.

    but you are also wrong with something. who said you are not a blogger? you have a blog account right? and you have posted articles written by you, right? that makes you a blogger. keep blogging.... :D
