Changed my mind
Sometimes I just don't have the mental energy to address some of the things I would like to on here. I need to keep it short and sweet so that I don't loose my train of thought and so that who ever reads it stays interested. So, this was not my intended original post.

By some fluke of genetics, which I am sure Alan is the one who brought the good genes, I have some kids who can write and communicate or tell a story through writing. I find that so interesting because I am not a good communicator through writing or verbal. The proper presenting of the message rests on the sender of the message and I, quite regularly, send the wrong one. That is a lesson I have slowly, but surely, learned over the years, that I need to not respond immediately to most important things. Stepping back and allowing it to mull in my head is a good thing, just so I don't say something stupid.

I call my self slow witted, and it is true. I am not stupid, I EVENTUALLY get things, just never as fast as most people. I am going to say it is because I have so much "immediately important" stuff in my head that I have to let the new information find a spot before I can process it properly. Please understand that I am not putting myself down, I like who I am and I know when I need to improve on something, and this is one of those things that needs improvement.

So, I am at the end of my mental energy for now.

Here is my blog. It is the thoughts and feelings of an "aging," homeschooling housewife who serves at a local restaurant. I am an average everyday normal kind of person, although my "normalness" becomes less so in today's society. Read on and enjoy or just realize you may not be the only one.
