The Mama in Me

So I've decided to revamp my blog...again. I know, I know I keep changing it randomly, usually following a long lull between posts. Although this whole year between posts is a first I think. Either way I started thinking about what's gone on in my life in the past year and figured now is a good time for me to try to delve back into blogging and since it's been awhile  I think I have some blog post ideas that could keep me in posts for a few weeks.

The title change actually came from my good friend Holly. I needed to make it about being a mother but also about being an individual and she suggested changing the title to The Mommy in Me and I liked that. I decided to change Mommy to Mama because Mama is a term that my darling daughter (DD) came up with on her own and she tends to call me that only when it's endearing. Any time she whines or cries it's either Mommy or Mom. LoL

Some things that I will probably talk about in the next few blog posts:
  • Working through a miscarriage that happened last year and my subsequent struggles to trust the Lord as I went through the grieving process, came out of it and now trusting the Lord that our next child will arrive at a time that is right for us, not when I want. 
  • Our move from Winnipeg to Morden and the fun that was selling our house, moving our house and being able to live in our 'summer home' as we still search for the perfect house for us.
  • As a result of the move being able to go from working part-time out of the home to becoming a stay at home mom (SAHM). I have thoughts on the pros and cons of this decision as well as thoughts on where I'd like to be in the future.
  • Possibly some hints to things I have written or things I want to write. I've always loved writing and one day would like to have something substantial for possible publication. Right now I don't know that I'm brave enough to try and get anything published, but that just can't seem to stop me from writing.
  • Last but not least my continuing journey as a mother. My DD teaches me new things every day which can sometimes be very amusing...I'll try to remember them all cause I know I'll love to read these things later on in life.
As you can see I have a few things I want to talk about, write about, or work through and I'm sure I'll come up with other topics as well. I don't know how deeply I'm going to delve into any specific topic, but I've always derived comfort from writing and blogging is an extension of that. So welcome to my new journey, hopefully I can keep up with it! :)

As an addendum I might feel so inclined to write my thoughts on shows I watch, books I read and movies I've seen, I don't really want to rule anything out, I'm too eclectic for that! ;)

Okay okay okay it has been long...WAY too long

What can I say I've been a bad bad blogger...like really bad. In fact there are no excuses I have been lacking in the blogging and I have nothing good to say for myself. So now, how am I? Good questions.

To start I am done getting married...the third and final installment of our weddings was on October 14th so I am now SO married...like really really married. Like wore my wedding dress twice had to write new vows because the old ones were outdone wore my wedding rings down the aisle married.

Now I get to live married life. Just live it...how boring...lmao I'm kidding it's great. For example I'm smelling my husbands attempts at making cookies...which were very high attempts but alas the cookies did not know how they were to cook so now it smells burnt...he's so cute. :p Right now he's going to Safeway to purchase proper replacements...lol

I've had some good days off in the last bit cause I've been really really tired...plus the days off have given me a chance to catch up on some cleaning and laundry, oh my goodness I'm a house frau...I have lost my will to mock and make fun I just like to clean and do laundry dear lord help me! You know I used to write a lot and now I can't seem to find the inspiration to get stuff down...it's bizarre it's like whatever motivated me before is either dormant or gone. I kind of miss those days.

There is also the fact that up until recently my laptop has been a out of commission so then I have to share the home computer with my hubby which makes it more difficult to spend time writing. Plus I prefer the whole, on the lap, thing involved with a laptop...who knows maybe when I get it back the inspiration will fly again I suppose you'll have to wait and see.

Stay tuned in a few weeks I might have more to write about that possibly has some substance...or I'll forget again and you won't hear from me till the new year....let's hope that doesn't happen. However if it does Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. :)
