I feel like I should post a brief comment about what I foresee this blog being. I'm going to chronicle the life of a parent of a child with special needs because, well, that's what I am. This will not, however, be a blog about how to be a parent or why you're a bad parent or what a great parent I am. This blog will also not be an online shrine to my darling daughter. I'll also try to keep the "icky" talk to a minimum, because, c'mon, no one wants to read about dirty diapers or vomit. Let's get real here.
I intend to post about life as I see it, through the darkly-colored glasses of Bipolar II Disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, but also through the rose-colored glasses of a tireless optimist who finds the beauty in life's darkest moments. Which isn't to imply that my life is dark. Actually, my life is pretty amazing, but I won't rub that in your face. I'll let you decide for yourself, fair enough?
Sometimes, I will post videos or pictures of my animals being cute, because who doesn't like cute animals? Sometimes, I will grieve the heavy burden that's been placed upon my shoulders. Other times, I will rejoice in life's many blessings. (Am I allowed to say blessings, or does that make me sound religious?)
When I want a new tattoo (which is virtually ALL of the time), I will post about that. When I bleach out my hair in an insane decision to go blonde or dye my bangs turquoise because I feel like a rock star, I will post about that. When school's got me a little bit insane, I'll be just another grad student blogging about schoolday woes.
This will inevitably have some of the markings of a mommy blog, because I'm a mom... blogging. However, there is so much more to my life than being a mom, and I intend to let all of it find its home in this safe little nook of the internet.
I encourage comments. Comments are good. Tell me if I'm posting about inane, drab stuff that no one wants to read. Tell me my hair looks awful in that last picture or that I need to pick a different color eyeshadow. Ask me questions. Tell me your stories. I would love to see this as more of a community and less of a diary... So speak up! Let me know you're out there, and let's talk about what's on YOUR mind!
For now, it's 10pm, and I'm lame, so I'm gonna go take a pill and hit the hay. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I'm celebrating with sushi, because I'm not the greatest cook in the world. How are you spending your day off?
