First Blog Post

I've never thought of myself as a blogger, I picture bloggers as being college age kids who have enough time and social awareness to want put their thoughts out there. It's not that I'm not socially aware,I'm just so incredibly tired sometimes! Not because I'm depressed, but because I'm a mom.

I've been a mom for 15 wonderful years now, and my son is my greatest accomplishment. He is also the thief of my sleep, the cause of my grey hairs that occasionally keep trying to sneak on my head, and the reason I worry if the house gets too quiet! But on the flip side: he is also the beat of my heart, the reason I stay "young" and aware of pop culture, and my companion viewer of all things Marvel, Star Wars, and Scary!

He gripes about being an only child, to which I reply, go tell your dad! I couldn't get myself pregnant, so it's all on him! Seriously though, I love being a mom, and that's pretty much my identity right now. Putting myself out there as an author is a new life step for me, and maybe in a future blog I'll will be identifying more as an author than as a mom, but somehow I doubt it. Motherhood trumps everything. And I mean that in all the best non-codependent ways possible!
