Identity Crisis


Starting this blog reminds me of lyrics from a song that I loved as a child from church camp... "Who am I? What will I be when I get where I'm going?"...(and that's all I remember of the song- it must've made an impact for some reason)

Now that I have established that I want to blog I am having a difficult time trying to decide what direction to send this blog. I want to blog for several reason: to document my kids' childhood, to vent about life, and to create some "me time".
My other concern is that I am basically computer illiterate- especially when it comes to designing a blog and making it fun looking- so my blog will likely look boring, boring, boring, zzzzzz until I read up on some blogging tutorials.

I could focus the blog on my kids- but, frankly, our day-to-day routine gets boring even to me.
I could focus the blog on weight loss- I am on Weight Watchers for the 1,252 time right now. And that makes me a professional. Kidding, obviously.
I could focus the blog on being a single mom- because being a single mom brings a whole different perspective to parenting a lot of the time.
I could focus the blog of my journey in faith- because I find myself becoming more in awe of faithfulness every day.

I am assuming that this blog will fall into a rhythm of it's own after I become accustomed to putting my thoughts on paper so I guess I will let it take off and watch where it goes.

Worst.blogger.ever.

I admit it. I am the worst blogger ever as evidenced by my last post which was approximately 358 days ago. I am disappointed that I did not document my last year. I was horrible at keeping up with my kids' baby books and I suppose that trait is carrying over to the blog world.





















The year of 2012 did not hold any major life changes for my family. I am still a single mother of two doing the best I can while searching for the grateful in my world. My kids are still happy, energetic busy little monkeys. I am including a few pictures since the last time I posted to help me remember some of the highlights of our year.
