I'm Here, Promise!

So, it has almost been 2 months since I've been able to write a blog post. It's not what I meant to happen but sometimes (always) life gets a little crazy. I've been writing down ideas for blog posts so they will be coming.

The biggest thing with my silence here was I went through a really sad, mad, unhappy period about my life. I think I've learned that growth is good, even when it is our of my hands. I've learned more about my body and it's frustrating that I need to work harder than I ever have to get back to where I need to be. I'm working on figuring out my daily schedule with E, cleaning, chores, getting out, money, and seeing what works best. I think I've narrowed it down and now I need to stick with it. Since I do like planning and organizing this should be a fun task for me. I'm planning another blog post about this new schedule once it's in place and show how I'm using my new calendar!

So Much Change

I have always thought that I could handle change. I think all of the sudden change in my life in the last 6 months have really thrown me off and it has been hard getting used to all of it. I had a baby, quit my job, then moved to a town (that I had never been to) over an hour away. I lived in Tacoma for over 11 years - all of my family and some friends lived there. I'm 30 years old, why is this so hard for me?

We moved at the end of December and I was motivated to get out there and make this place my home. We have found that we are a bit tight on money (hello, medical bills and student loans) since we are on one income. Yeah yeah, I could keep going and keep thinking about how I'm feeling but I just wanted to get this out and off my mind. We only have one car so I do spend a lot of time at home. I don't like to spend my days cleaning house all the time...I don't know how other stay at home moms can get it all done. It's so tiring!

I have some goals that I really want to accomplish. I will share them here this week. I hope I can get into blogging again and maintaining it for a creative outlet.

Brand New Blog

It's really weird writing on an iPad but maybe this will actually let me get my thoughts out. My laptop is already 5+ years old and a pain to have to load and pull out to type. By the time I have it open and set up I have already lost my thoughts and ideas for what I want to write. I wish I write down these ideas but I think I'm going to remember them and obviously I don't. 

My life has changed so much in the last two years and it's been so busy, exciting, and stressful. I have not been able to document anything and that makes me a little sad. This blog is for my daily life, thoughts, documenting my son, and finding out who this new woman I am is. 

I write as the words come so if anyone is reading this, I apologize for any spelling and grammatical errors. I'm not trying to be perfect even though I think that's what I need to be. 

Let's hope this one sticks around. I've had so many blogs since 2000 and this one is my most important yet.
