Did you know...

...it's hard to blog with the kids in the room.

That's probably why I have made Facebook my bridge to the "real world". I don't tweet just so you know. FB allows me to post a snippet of what might be in my head. And sometimes, that's all that time allows my hands to be on the keyboard. I love my job of being a mommy. However, someone always needs something and if I sit at the computer too long, my house will quickly become a mess. Not that I would know or anything...;)

Here's the other thing that has been on my mind and might be one reason why I have stayed away from my blog for some time now: can I really talk about anything thought provoking that is halfway intelligent without talking about my kids? Probably not. And there really is only so much about my kids that any one person might want to read about. They really are cute - if I do say so myself - but it's like I am finger painting on walls rather than oil painting fine art on canvas. Can I still speak of things as if I still listen to NPR on a regular basis? Or am I stuck on Sesame Street? Nietzsche vs. Elmo. Oh my poor brain.

As blogging goes, I feel like Carrie, from Sex and the City, except there's no...ummmm....er...City. More like, Mindy, from Mommyhood and the Suburbs. I wonder if in the next Sex and the City movie, Carrie will be a mommy. Hmmmm, it sure does change things.

Don't get me wrong. As I have already said, I really do love being a mommy, but sometimes I fear for my brain. Is it turning into mush? Could I pass a 9th grade vocabulary test? I know I couldn't pass the math.

So maybe I will slowly blog again. Maybe you will read. Maybe not. But if anything, maybe you'll come back to see whether it's about kids...or not...
