My Way...

Today I discovered my true north, my soul mate..okay, I already married my soul mate but this person is at least a woman after my own heart. As I sat thumbing through a recent copy of Redbook magazine I stumbled across an article about Mom's who we're doing things there way...raising kids the best the knew how, not trying to fit some sterotypical block of the perfect mom, something I think far more of us type A personalities need to work on.

The picture posted to her blog at the end of her pregnancy is the following...girlfriends who are still expecting their first little miracle - this too will be you shortly. The fact that she actually printed an eviction notice, posted it and snaped a picture makes her my new BFF.


I tend to be an open book myself and I find it refreshing when I find other women who can be so forward and down right brutally honest about the way life is. I've been blessed in this life but even so, there are things that light me up, tork me up and break me up...no life is perfect but we get one go round so enjoy, learn from your mistakes and laugh every chance you get!

Back to this article, I found this woman and her husband who have turned her once solo, bantering filled blog into their sole household money maker...god bless - I can't imagine enough people being so interested in me that I could make money off my blathering but hey you never know...by the time Abbey's 16 if I'm still writing people are bound to have heard about me by then...babe, let's get the ad space up and going!

I digress...

So this woman started blogging back in 2001 and continued to blog through failed jobs, failed relationships, marriage, children and all that life usually entails.  She leaves no topic untouched and she has a mouth like a trucker - like I said, a woman after my own heart!  I started reading her blogs from around 2004 since that's when her first was born and I have to admit her "Colored commentary" puts me to shame but it makes me laugh out loud so for anyone who is interested you can check her out at http://www.dooce.com/about
