Blogging

Yesterday was a very busy day for me and I didn't get the chance to post anything. It seems that the mornings are the best time for me to get something down. As the day goes on my brain cells seem to go on vacation! I actually wound up only getting the shopping accomplished as Connor was not feeling well. I think his teeth are beginning to bother him more and more as they work their way up. I spent most of the day sitting with him in the rocking chair trying to coax him to eat and calming him down as he screamed most of the time he wasn't asleep.



While I was vegging with him I saw an advertisement for a new show, I think it was on TLC and it was about some Super Mom Blogger or something like that. It seems she blogged a lot or something and now she is getting her own show? I was kind of watching and kind of trying to doze at the same time so only half caught what is was. I really didn't realize how prevalent blogging had become. I guess people that have crazy lives have a lot to write about. I wish I would have had the knowledge of blogging when we were going through all our crazy stuff with Hugh's children and ex-wife. Boy that would have had some followers! I sometimes can't believe some of the stuff I went through when I first moved here. I had been warned by Hugh that his children were high maintenance but you never quite believe what you are told. I am lucky in that my children are fairly well behaved and always have been. So imagine the shock when I started seeing exactly how awful the children would behave just for some attention. I mean I had an eight year old little girl (Alyssa) crawling on the floor wailing at eight at night because she wanted her daddy to come home from his business trip immediately! Then there was the day that Tyler totally destroyed his bedroom throwing his mattress across the room. Then he proceeded to climb in his laundry basket all because I asked him to go sit in his room for time out because he misbehaved in the grocery store! Not a fun thing to go through as at nine years old he was almost as big as I was at the time. All antics were ignored as much as possible mind you unless they interrupted the schedule of the normal children. I just can't believe how far we have come as a family unit and we are still intact! There are still issues that need to be dealt with like the disrespect from the bigger kids but they ARE teenagers and that is I guess to be expected!


I mean, blogging so much that you get your own television show, does she have a life that is that interesting or is she just good at writing things? Some people can write about celebrities or local events, almost anything and make it sound interesting. I wish I could be that type of person! Then I could write books! Speaking of books.....there was a commercial for a talk show and they were going to have a romance novelist on their show, I don't remember which writer. She had nine children and had written several hundred books over the course of raising those nine children. How in the world do you write hundreds of steamy romance books with nine kids looking over your shoulder? She must be very good at what she does. Maybe I can start looking at writing something besides just a blog! That would be the day!!
