Yes. Add me to the ever-growing list of people who have resolved to write that ONE blog which will draw readers in on a daily basis. The ONE blog about their life, the daily drama, and all the words of wisdom they offer. The ONE blog above all other blogs. You know.... That blog everyone hates. It looks down upon your blog and you read it only to see if something bad happened to it lately.
The.One.Blog.
Actually, I'll admit that I want to write a kickass blog. Who doesn't?! You see it all the time. People get paid to write about stuff in their blogs. People actually make money writing blogs!!! That would be incredible and I want to be that person. But mostly, I know how nosy I am and how I love seeing what other people's lives are like. I want dirt. I want to know that when I'm sitting on the couch crying because some fictional character on television screws up, I'm not the only one crying. Yes, I know it's fiction. BUT THAT WAS MESSED UP!
Look. I'm not superhuman. I'm not the CEO of some new and necessary company. I'm a wife and mom. I volunteer, I'm crafty, and I think I have a great sense of humor. I'm also bipolar and overweight. So what do I have to offer the internet? Why should you read my blog?
Because you're nosy too. It's ok! Isn't that why the internet is so amazing? You hear a friend talking about a celebrity who said something really horrible about another celebrity. So you Google it and get all the dirt. You hear somebody hint at a wardrobe malfunction by somebody famous. Google it and there you have the pictures. What was that? They might be getting divorced?! Google it and there's the latest gossip and breakdown of the divorce papers. Wonder what your high school ex is doing now? Google it and... hey! He actually turned out normal and I might even get along with his wife. I wonder what is growing in the back of my neighbor's yard.... Google Earth brings you to street level and there you have it.
See where I'm going with this? I'm going to share (almost) every detail of my daily life with you. I'll save you the Google searches and offer up the dirt for free. Why would I want to do this? Because for a few years, I've convinced myself that every other wife and Mom has no clue what I'm going through. I'm pretty sure that everyone has a cleaner house than me. I think everyone is having way more sex than me. I am the only woman who has tried FlyLady's methods more than 3 times and still failed. I am the only woman to have just discovered RumChata and pudding shots. I am, right?
I'm going to post about my life. I'm going to share with you what I'm trying to fix, how I'm trying to fix it, what works, what doesn't, recipes, craft ideas, things which inspire me, things which anger me, things which make me smile, and things I need to have explained to me. I hope that as you read my blog, you find that I make you laugh, smile, nod your head in agreement, or help you to not feel like you're the one woman on the face of the earth with that challenge or thought. I'm not perfect, and I'm not great with grammar or spelling. It's ok. I've come to terms with that. I hope you don't mind.
Happy New Year and welcome to 365 Days of Suburban Survival
