The REAL 1st Blog Post

The first blog post is painful. If you can get through this, kudos! And, hopefully you’ll come back. I’m sure they’ll become less painful as I get better at this. 

Full Disclosure: this is not my first blog. I attempted to blog about 10i[ish] years ago. It wasn’t great, but I learned a lot. 

Oh yeah and I’m in therapy. I have ADD, Major Depressive Disorder (Recurring), and Generalized Anxiety. I’m a ball of fun, huh? I actually can be, but it takes me awhile to get comfortable. Once I’m comfortable, I’m a fun-loving kind of gal. What was I talking about?

Anyway, I’m starting this project just to document my life. I’m not trying to make any money (although, if I’m offered some, I’m not going to say no! I’m mentally ill, not crazy!). I turned  45 this year and I still don’t know what I want to do with my life. I’m a mom and a wife and those are good things. I love those things! But, my son is getting older (13) and I’m kind of needing a hobby. Some would say, “Get a job.” But I tried that and it didn’t work out so well. 

I actually HAVE worked in my life. I was in the Air Force for one enlistment and then worked in a corporate office environment for 10 years. Why am I feeling like this a job interview? Do you even care about all of this? 

I told you the first blog post is painful. 

Well, it’s almost over and if you’ve made it this far, you deserve a reward. I don’t know what though. But know I’m impressed. I wouldn’t have been able to make it this far. But I have an excuse (ADD). 

What I’m trying to say is that strange and entertaining things happen to me – almost on a daily basis – and I want to share those with the interwebs. Because I have nothing else to do. Well, there’s laundry and dishes, but who wants to do that? I really should go and do that. 

Ok, I’ve filled up the page. Woohoo! Will you come back for more???
