Do you ever have a whole bunch of crap running through your head? Some of it useful – like the stuff you need to get at the grocery store on the way home, some of it completely pointless – like why on Earth can I tell you the dates that I started (and subsequently stopped) dating my high school boyfriends?
As a woman who happens to (a) be married (b) be a mother to two amazing boys and (c) work outside of the home full time, I have a TON of that crap on a regular basis. At some point I occurred to me that I should make an effort to get some of it out of my head. (I firmly believe that your brain is like a filing cabinet – it only holds so much. In order to make room for more stuff, you have to take something else out.)
So…I started a blog.
Here are my disclaimers/warnings (in no particular order, not all-inclusive, and subject to change at any time)
1 – I do not consider myself to be a politically correct individual. Sorry if that offends you. It’s not my intent, but I’m just being real to me.
2 – I will not change names of individuals to protect the innocent, guilty, or the guilty ones who think they are innocent. I will not hide behind thinly veiled “fictional” caricatures of people to make a passive-aggressive point.
3 – You’re going to read a LOT about health and fitness. I do not consider myself an expert on all things in this area, but it has become a passion of mine over the last couple of years. I welcome discussion on the subject when I bring it up. Tasteful and helpful discussion. Rude, hurtful, mean and irrelevant posts will be removed. Trolls? Stay under your bridges.
4 – I have something of an inappropriate vocabulary. It’s not always as clean as it should be. Truth be told, in the right circumstances, I have the mouth of a sailor. I write the way I speak. Don’t like it? Don’t read those words.
5 – I am a wife, daughter, sister, aunt, Godmother, friend, HR professional, vocalist, instrumentalist, runner, coach, and more. Most importantly, I am a mother. Guess what. You’re gonna read about that too. Again, I welcome discussion. Tasteful and helpful discussion. Rude, hurtful…wait…haven’t I already said this once? You know where I’m going with this. Don’t remember? Read #3 again.
