Cheap therapy

It's been almost two months that I've been at this blogging thing now and I must say that I really like it! It's nice to have a way to communicate and stay in touch with friends and relatives out of town without having to send out mass emails (or a ton of individual emails)!

But I have another reason that I love it.....it has been really good for me to get my thoughts out, even if they are kind of random and unorganized. It was actually my husband who pointed out to me that it was probably therapeutic for me to write about things. I had never thought about it that way, but it is totally true. Being a stay at home mom is wonderful, but there is a little downside of not having any way to really express myself to other adults on a regular basis. And this year I have been even more uninvolved with friends and other things than I used to do with other moms for various reasons. I used to HAVE to talk to someone on the phone or in person at least once a day or I'd just be going crazy by the time Chris walked in the door at night and I would talk his poor ear off!!

Sometimes I worry that my blog posts are kind of boring or unimportant, well......oh well, this blog is my journal....a peek into my everyday life, crazy and awesome as it is! This blog is just as much (if not more) for me than for all my readers and sometimes just getting my thoughts, ideas and feelings out of my head on to "paper" helps me to refocus and go about my day a little calmer!

So, to all my readers out there, thank you for coming and "listening" to me when I just need some adult conversation!!
