I have been lacking so much in this blog, that it is near criminal.

I love writing. I love blogging. So why have I put this as well as other numerous things that I love to do, on the fucking backburner?
Specificially this year?

Because, to be honest, my marriage is failing.

There. I said it.

And when one’s marriage is failing, and falling, and pieces are flying, and children are involved, you tend to let things slip away. Including your blogs, and your videos, and your writing, and your enjoyment and your joy and your pieces and parts of everyday life.

This year has sucked. Pretty damn bad. I haven’t had such a shit year, in soooo very long. I should be thankful, but as we all know, when it rains, it pours and I don’t mean a storm of cleaning rain- I mean a storm of shit.
Pretty visual- eh?

I will spare the details. I will spare the insane amount of time that this has gone on. I will spare all that stupid woe is me bullshit.

But I refuse to spare myself anymore. I have to do what I have to do. I Have to go on. And I have to enjoy life again.

I am not going anywhere, I will never let who I am, slip away anymore.

I am in the process of copying and pasting EVERY entry from EVERY blog and diary I have EVER had.
To this blog.
This dates back to 2002-present.
Right now I am in the process of transferring my blogger entries from 2004-2005 onto this blog.

It is insanely tedious, but will be WELL worth it in the end. Because you will have a history of who I am as a mom, and a writer/blogger.

So feel free to dive in back in 2004- 2005. there’s interesting stuffs in there.

Orrrr… just wait it out until I have it all transferred, should be a couple weeks before its all said and done.

Oy… me back hurts!
