Keeping it real

So I have updated the blog a lot in the past few weeks. I also deleted almost every post from 2010. To be quite honest, almost all of them were quite terrible. I really don't know where I was trying to go with my blog. I even considered deleting this one and starting up a new one but that would take way more work than I have time for. Who am I kidding? I have no time. The only time I ever get to myself to watch tv, surf the web, blog or think is after 8pm. So because I have so little time to myself the last thing I want to do is start a blog from scratch. Just thinking about it is making me tired. 

Now that all the horrible posts have been purged I feel like I can start over. With that comes a promise, that from now on, I will be keeping it real. Meaning I will be giving it to you straight. Giving what exactly? Well, my life. I will be challenging myself to discuss things I have never wanted to, like my past for example. Oh, how I could go on for days about all the ruckus I have caused.  

I don't ever want it to seem like I think I am perfect, that my marriage is perfect or even that my son is perfect (Although, have you seen his thighs? Pretty close to perfection if you ask me). Blogs sometimes seem to only portray the good. I will now be documenting the good, the bad, the terrible and just how awful poopy diapers can be once you introduce solids. For the record, they are worse than you could possibly imagine. I refrain from posting anything about what goes in diapers on Facebook but this is my domain. So if you don't want to read about poop or the like than you will hate my blog. And that's okay.

I am learning that I can not and will not please everyone. I have opinions and not everyone will agree. In fact, as long as it is done without being hurtful, I am completely open to opposing views. I will never know everything about a topic so I am always up for learning something new.

I am really excited to start this new adventure, so to speak. I am a completely different person than I was a year ago. It took me almost 25 years to get to this point and I am so proud of who I have become.
