OK, so I've started a blog. Here's the million dollar question: what do I have to blog about?
I'm a 30-plus mother of one. Married for longer than five years. Trying to figure out the balance between being a stay-at-home mom and a stay-at-home writer.
Being at home with my baby is wonderful. Being at home with my baby is hard.
I miss the structure of going in to an office. I miss seeing the friends you make among the cubicles. I miss being able to bounce around ideas or to chat at the coffee maker or to hear the latest customer horror story.
But I love the quiet in front of my computer. I love being able to take a break to nurse my baby. I love the freedom to work by my schedule, whatever that schedule may be.
I love my life.
I've made many resolutions in the past, and I'll continue to make them (I have quite a few for this year already!). But my biggest resolution, the one at which I want to succeed above all others, is finding something to be grateful for each day. I have been so blessed in my life, but I easily overlook those blessings and focus instead on the things I don't have.
In 2009, I resolve to spend more time giving thanks. Here's to 2009!
So are you freelance now? What are your work plans? I am going to see my new boss tomorrow (my old principal retired the last day bfeore Christmas) to discuss my classroom placement should I stay out a second year.
