First of all let me preface this by saying, the purpose of a personal blog is to say what I want, tell people how I'm feeling and give my opinions on different things.....I caught some crap about titling my last blog the way I did....but to that I say "Are you asking me to be fake? this is how I feel"
Anyhow I have been going through a bout of postpartum depression and the Air Force is having me speak with a counselor periodically.......it's no big deal but one of the things that she "prescribed" was to do something just for me something that is an interest of mine. This got me thinking.....
I have always had a hard time with this concept, I after all grew up half of a whole. This is what I have come up with:
1. food but not just food, going out with friends to eat...
2. movies especially those with Jane Austen stories
3. being a Mom (but it helps when you have the greatest babe ever)
4. naps...need I say more
5. a clean house and an empty laundry bucket. (especially when my husband cleans it)
6. window shopping (maybe someday I will win the lottery and be able to buy stuff.
While I'm at it, things I really don't like:
1. people who dont call back
2. people who dont email back (especially when I am trying to get info)
3. the way food makes me feel (I wish they would invent some super fuel, that was the perfect calories, gave you great energy, and made you optimally healthy.
4. Last but certainly not least......MY JOB!!!!!!
PEACE

Sorry I missed seeing that you posted. I love to see posts. You know I love a post. And that I love you.
Every one has their own reason for blogging. Some want an outlet, others use it as a way of venting. I, myself, love that I've found a way to journal that I actually enjoy doing. I used to invest a lot emotionally in the comments I would recieve and hope people cared but I had to remind myself that i really LOVE this way of documenting my family's "goings on" and these are all the things I never want to forget. I try to remember that whenever I do a post. I will never erase anything that I've posted about my family and I will never put anything on my blog that I don't want any one to see.
I enjoy seeing what you guys are up to since you don't live close and it's a great way to keep up!
If you enjoy it keep doing it, it can be great therapy!It's hard whenever you put your feelings out there and you have to accept that not every one will agree all the time but I know we like to see your posts and we love your little family!
I must say that I totally agree with your list, with the possible exception of number 3. I've never enjoyed being a mom; I think being a dad suits me better. Good to hear from you again.
