I Can’t Write To Save My Life

I am reading week 4 of this lesson. I realized that although I really want to learn about how to set up sites so they can be “bloglike”, or best able to showcase blogs, I can’t write worth a lick. I never could write well. I may be insightful and can usually carry a good conversation, but the minute I put pen to paper (or more recently finger to keyboard) nothing comes out well. Period.

I guess that maybe the tape recorder kept in my purse might work. My friend used to do that when she was planning her wedding, and she would come up with amazing ideas when she was in the car commuting. So she would pull out the tape recorder then play it back when she got home, and add whatever she had thought of to her lists. But I might have my thoughts well organized, but I don’t think they would be beautiful. There are people out there with gorgeous posts. Barb’s, for example, are so insightful. I really enjoy reading her posts.

I have been searching all over, I could have sworn I had bookmarked this amazing blog about mommyhood. It described the total life from the trenches, the craziness of having small children. Now lately my children aren’t that small, they are 8 and 11. Today we had absolutely no plans, which was amazing. I have a cold so I have been letting them have the run of the house. For a while I was thrilled that I could actually rest. I remember when the kids were little, forget resting! There were kids to feed, diapers to change, mess to clean up. Well, I still probably have mess to clean up but I can at least get them to help. But I really want to find out if that blog still exists. It gave me hope when the kids were little, but when I went back to work I lost the ability to follow it.

I found something similar here, but it isn’t quite the same:

It isn’t quite the same. Darn, it is really going to bother me.
