All little about me

Well, so I have been running around the web trying to find out about blogging as it is something that has always appealed to me.  I was stuck though on the public/private thing.  What I thought I wanted (still do actually) is a place to put my meanderings, air my dirty laundry, engage in self therapy and do this in a public-like venue.  Well, good luck with that.  A experienced blogger friend of mine told me that I would certainly need to decide what I specifically wanted to get out of blogging as it would be hard to get meet all my needs in one blog spot.  Sort of like your spouse.  He/she cannot possibly meet all of your many and varied needs and so you have to go elsewhere (and I DON'T mean it like THAT!) to get your love of quilting needs met, or whatever.

Fine, I have reconciled myself with the fact that my deep, dark secrets will have to be worked through in ye olde diary with the lock and key.  Or in the confessional.  Or on the therapist's couch.  This, I want for creative outlet.  Yes, that's what this will be for me.

I doubt I will get into making this a place that is gorgeous to look at like some of the blogs I have seen.  Wow!  They are works of art!  

So, I am a person of unique life characteristics; or so I like to think.  Some of the things I may or may not wax poetic on is the fact that I:

-am a 42 year old woman

-have 5 children

-have 2 grandchildren

-homeschool my last 3

-am a doula, ie. attend births, provide post partum support and teach childbirth education classes

-have been separated from my spouse for almost 2 years

- am an accredited La Leche League Leader

-gave birth at home

-chooses to selectively vaccinate

-enjoy trashy television

-am trying to lose weight

-am a bad housekeeper

-love to read

Check in later!
