tag you are it
Posted: under random thoughts of a mother of five.
A blog. It was my idea. Start a fabulous children’s on-line store and have a blog. What was I thinking? I graduated college with a degree in accounting. I didn’t need to be able to write…only count. I guess I did have a pre-requisite to take one business writing course. We were required to write business papers that pertain to our college major. Raise your hand if you want to read about accounting practices and procedures. What!? No hands?! I’m shocked.
So here we are a virgin blog writer and curious, maybe even skeptical, blog readers. I have two reasons for this blog. My first reason is simply selfless. I wish to highlight each and every one of my fabulous finds in an easily accessible format for all shopaholics like myself. A nifty place to do your research for a new product you and your little one must have.
The second reason is just plain selfish on my part. My bff just went back to work after a three year leave to be at home with her babies. We used to talk, oh I don’t know, one or two…ok, five times a day. These talks replaced my need to write in a journal. These talks probably kept me from booking an appointment with a therapist. Gone are my daily therapy talks. So, tag, you are it. You are my new bff.
I am sure I am supposed to keep my blogs to some sort of word minimum. As my new bff, the first thing you should know about me is I am simply incapable of keeping my words to a minimum. Consider yourself lucky. You get to read my words. You can skim them, scroll through them, or just skip over them all together. Imagine if you had to listen to me drone on and on…five times a day.
One last bit of information you may need to know. I am a mother of five. Nope, I am not Mormon. I am not Catholic. I am not a farmer who lives so far from other people that I need to birth my own farmhands. I am not a supermom; no home schooling, dinner is not always (um, ever?) around the table, and sometimes I even forget to take my children to their extra curricular activities. I am just a mom who loves kids and the chaos they bring to my life. I need all the help I can get. So, as I said, tag you are it.
