Hello again.

I feel so cliche with this blog. And with this obligatory "Gee I know it's been so long but I've been so busy but I promise to blog more" entry. There are so many mom bloggers out there now; it wasn't like that when I first began. I hate seeming like just another mom who thinks she has something to say that people want to read.

But the truth is, I miss blogging. So many times, there are thoughts I have but don't really feel like sharing on Facebook, or can't because I have some younger friends on there who probably shouldn't read them.

I miss my blog I had through the Reading Eagle several years ago; at the time, it seemed a good idea to quit. But I often regret it. With all the rah-rah parenting bullshit out there, I think it's nice to be honest about life as a parent -- and a woman -- right now, and the challenges and frustrations we face. I mean, you can't tell me all moms have it completely together all of the time, no matter what the sunshiney stories tell you in Mom-mags.

So. Here we go. Hopefully I will get a few more eyes on this thing ... like the old days.
