A New Direction

I realize it's been a really long time since I've been here.  Writing on my blog has been such a great release of tension for me, and lately I haven't even had time to do that.  But here I am, and I'm asking for your help. 

I'd like to take my blog in a new direction.  I've written about just about every topic I can think of, and alot of times I'm just rambling on and on.  If you stop in regularly you know what I'm talking about.  But I'm starting a new chapter in my life.  One that focuses on my family.  My family has taken a backseat to an awful lot in my life lately.  My job, stress, anxiety, yada yada yada.  I'm tired of that.

So, I had a couple of ideas.  I was thinking about blogging about different things that happen in my life.  Opinions I guess you could say, on restaurants, stores, online shopping, books.  Things like that.  I guess I don't have to just nail myself down to one thing.  I'm looking for ideas. 

I'm pretty craft, I've been thinking about starting a craft business of sorts, and opening a little ebay shop or something like that.  Not trying to toot my own horn or anything, but I'm damn creative.  Years ago when Jourdan was just a baby I did a craft business and made pretty good money at it, and this wasy way before Ebay.  I actually had to go to craft shows and such.

And, I could always talk about politics, lol.  I could go on and on about politics.  But that might alienate some of my more liberal friends....if I actually have any left. Just kidding.

I was thinking, as I am sitting here listening to the music that plays on my blog, I should probably update that as well.  I could write about being a stay at home mom and all the things I go through, trying to relate to other mom's....we could talk about how many times a day we watch "Dora The Explorer".  No, that's no good, lol.

I've got a second blog set up that has recipees on it.  But I'm the only one who posts anything there. 

I think that people are just busy.  As I just wrote, I've been so busy that I didn't even have time to get online and write on my blog.  I don't even get on facebook that much anymore, all because of time.  So, if I'm going to have the pleasure of someone stopping by and reading my blog, I don't want it to be dribble.

So, friends of mine, I'm putting it out there.  I'm looking for some ideas.  I'd like to get my friends to start blogs of their own.  I'd like to read books and then write about them here.  And I want to read my friends blogs and post comments.  I really miss that.  For the longest time I looked forward to getting the kids in bed at night and turning on my computer so I could write in my blog and then read Beth's post from the night before.  I haven't done that in so long.  I'm goint to remedy that tonight.

Something is changing in my life.  Not everyone knows yet, so I need to be careful....just for today...but things are going to be changing in my life.  For the good!  I'll have the time to do some things that I enjoy for a change.  And I'll be able to take care of my family like a mom should.

With that said, I will say goodnight.  I will have something wonderful to write about tomorrow, I promise.  If you choose to follow my blog I appreciate it.  Please, feel free to comment on my posts.  And feel free to share any ideas you may have for me.
