A year later...

Now that the semester has ended and I am sitting at home with a sick little girl, I found myself with time on my hands. No correcting, cleaning and laundry are caught up, Christmas decorations almost down ( I have time-it's not even Valentine's day) and I'm all caught up on  this season of Downton Abbey! So what's a girl to do? I took a look at my blogs and decided that perhaps I haven't been so good about blogging myself...

So I clearly did not follow through on my New Year's resolution of 2012 to blog more consistently. Life happens and boy, did it happen to me.

In the last year I have moved, gotten divorced, and met a wonderful man. Someday I will blog about my experience with my ex-husband-- divorce is never fun, but throw in alcoholism and a dash of compulsive lying, and you will have one sticky mess on your hands-- but today I don't know if I am ready to rehash it all. Same goes with my new man- I will definitely be frequenting some more blogs by military spouses in the future. ;-) But today I will spare any of my friends who still might be glancing over this all of the nitty-gritty details that are coming with the prospect of blending families, military life, and civilian life!

Instead, I am going to use this blog for myself today. No hidden agenda nor soapbox rant, no snarky commentary on Facebook posts  by my crazy uber-political friends who are choosing to be ignorant in the age of information, not even a post on the baby hat I'm knitting. Today, I am simply getting back into the groove of writing.  It feels SOO good! hmm....must still be on an emotional roller coaster from that last episode of Downton Abbey...

Reading over this, I realize this is a bit jumbled up. But life was a little jumbled up last year and times, they are a changin'. Here's to me and my mediocre writing skills!
