My Own Story

This will be the last post I make. On this laptop. The T key is missing and the W only works when it wants to.

Haven't been writing here much. Are blogs dead? I don't care if they are. I still enjoy this medium.

I have things to say. Lots. But I'm realized what I have been writing is more my children's stories than the story of me. They should get to tell their own stories. I play the part of "Mom", but they are people making their own stories now. I remember being 3 and 5 and 9 ... maybe not three so much. Three is very naughty ...

Anyway, it's not my place to record and display their lives publicly. They are a giant piece of my life story, but I tend to dwell on the high and lows and notice what is important to me. I don't want to super-impose my perceptions of them upon who they really are.

Off to Costco. Kids are hungry every few hours.

I hope I blog more.

I hope you blog more, too. My own blogging has slowed down, so I understand.

I hope you blog more too. I miss reading your blogs. I'm always leery of how much I share about my kids because I don't want to prejudice anyone towards (or against) them. My blog tends to be all about me (very selfish, I know- but- it is MY blog, lol). You're pretty fascinating in your own right :-)
