back to the blogging
Nearly 2 years ago now- I told my therapist that I would start writing. I promised her on our last appointment that I write here at least once a week. So here I am starting today 2 + years later! I'm considering this as a win. Better late than never. I know I have some raw issues to work through and frankly don't want to write that stuff here- so it's going to be a balancing act.
so here goes:
1. I will be 50 years old in 22 days.
2. I now have 6 Grandsons and 1 Granddaughters!
3. Being a Grandmother is one of the biggest surprises of my life- I knew it would be good/fun but I didn't know how much I would feel needed.
4. Having adult children is harder than I ever imagined, because I am a recovering control freak.
5. My youngest child (I have 6 children) turns 18 - 3 weeks after my 50th birthday. It's not a good combination.
6. I am struggling to figure out what my role in life is now after nearly working myself out of my preferred profession of being the control freak- mom.
7. I come to this blog every. single. day. and read the few bloggers out there that I have followed for years.
8. I miss some of my old favorites terribly.
9. Somehow - they feel like family to me.
10. I am sad at how much of my life is missing here- I have such a great history started- then blew it by not keeping up! dang it! I'm going to try to keep going & even catch up a little.

I'm glad to see you are back at blogging. Love you and love your family. You are an inspiration to me, particularly since we are the same age, but I am a few years behind in stage of life. I really hope you keep writing.
Hooray for you coming back to blogging! I wish our little community would all get back into it because it was so therapeutic and such a great way to document our lives for all those years.
Ohhhhhhhhh, this felt so good to read your blog tonight. I am going to do better about blogging, too. I miss it and I have missed your posts. Thanks so much for writing.
