Look guys, I'm blogging! I have started a blog. Hardy Har Har, I'm a blogger.
Since I will have an infant stuck on my boob (hopefully 40 more days) and a gorgeous little 4 year old daughter who feeds me material that might one day make us famous, I figured... what the heck! lets do it! lets blog! So, Welcome... to my blog. blog post? internet? Am I doing the "internet"?
First Step!
So the first step in starting a blog (cause i'm OBVIOUSLY an expert now) is figuring out a name. Your domain name. The freakin' NAME! I was SO stumped. I didn't want to pick something like "I'm a mommy" or "I like to work out" or "#yolo I like wine".. I wanted something that was .... eye catching, kind of funny, and not stupid. I kept asking Justin (my "hilarious" husband) and he just looked at me like "why would you even ask me such a question that doesn't involve beer, fishing, the outdoors, and anything else "man" related." Thanks, babe.
Well, a couple days later the said husband and 4 year old daughter were ganging up on me (hurry up, baby boy! things need to be even around here) and driving me just absolutely CRAZY and Justin looked at me and said "They are trying to drive me crazy! - BAM! nailed it! blog name! I'm just fueling for your blog... you're welcome!!!!". I didn't really like it, (too long) but it became this joke in our house "Just fueling for your blog - best husband ever". And one night it hit me while my brain was on total overdrive and everyone else was soundly sleeping (don't you hate that? helloooooo! why am i the only one in this house who thinks of everything and anything and you guys are just SLEEPING!!!!) - For The Love Of My Sanity!!!!!!
I Feel Like I'm Somewhat Sane?
Right? Sometimes as a mom and wife you really can feel so far from "sane" it feels like you should be put away in an insane asylum just for like 5 minutes to hear your thoughts maybe? drink hot coffee? (do they serve hot coffee to you in there?) buuuuuut some days you feel like you really have it going on. You are organized (mind & household), you are crafting with your littles, you are feeling like the best mom EVER and it all could have started with something so simple that if you just did it everyday then everyday could be like that. lol - just kidding, that never happens. In this blog - MY blog - I want to share the good, the bad and the ugly. And at the same time hope someone reads it and actually ENJOYS it (Hi Mom) If there is anything I have learned in my 4 years as a mom, its that not everything is perfect, not everything is sunshine and butterflies and stupid rainbows. And not everything HAS to be about your kids. Heck, i might write a blog post one day on how much I love wine. (light bulbbbbbb, excuse me while i write that genius idea down)
Bottom Line....
Bottom line is this is where i will be sharing everything, from loosing that baby weight, to a really neat DIY, to a really good review on a product (winnneeee), to how much i love my husband, then a totally separate one of how he irritates me, how much i love food, about my little Zoe and soon about my baby boy!!! We are all surviving here, and finding ways to still be "us" and not just "mom" or "my old lady" and this is going to be my new "outlet" and I am very excited to start this. Now, how do i sign off on this thing? End blog? Is that what they say? And BREAK!? That's a wrap? Mic drop? ahhh, screw it.
