Yep, it's true. One year ago today I made the decision to jump on the blog bandwagon and put my thoughts out there for the world to read. At that time I had no idea if I'd even stick with it.
Coincidentally, this also marks my 100th post...a milestone in its own right. Given life's challenges, working full time, and the expected craziness thrust upon any new mom, I think averaging one post every 3-4 days this year was a great accomplishment.
Blogging has lived up to my expectations thus far. It offers me a fantastic outlet to express my emotions...whether good, bad, or ugly. It allows me to be happy, silly, angry, sad, and sappy. Most importantly, it provides me a way to document the precious moments and milestones in my daughter's life without having to glue, tape, and staple pictures and other miscellaneous objects to a pink, frilly scrapbook that would undoubtedly end up rotting away in someone's attic years down the road.
The dust seems to be settling a bit in my new position, so hopefully life will return to normal soon and I'll actually be able to stay awake long enough to post more often. Punky has changed so much the last two months and I've missed out on capturing some of those memories. And with how completely cluttered my head has been lately, many are lost forever. I'm lucky to make it out of the house with matching shoes these days, let alone remember what happened a few days ago.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to year number two in my own little corner of cyberspace. Based on my lifetime history, I can confidently say there will never be a shortage of material. Never a dull moment...as my grandmother used to say. It's always something...and that something, whatever it is, usually makes a memory worth noting. And Punky may need a detailed list to present to her therapist someday when she blames her parents for everything that goes wrong in her life.
