Blogging: Something I remember having more faith in than any one religion when I was a teenager.

This is more of an experiment for me at this point, just to see if keeping a blog journal will help therapeutically and aid in keeping me from jumping off the proverbial cliff into pure insanity.

At one point in my life, I could spell almost every word perfectly...or what's more important, I had a wide variety of vocabulary to choose from in any given situation. Now, I'm lucky to remember my name and how to spell it. I know I'm not alone in this and, to me, it seemed to have worsen with each child I was gifted with. With Atticus (or Atty, my oldest), I could slowly start to feel my brain power shift to retain information that was never really on my "top priority" previously. With Liam, I was starting to space out in the middle of conversations. Lastly, with Lyra, I feel like I can't hold a conversation with anyone other than my kids and my other half, Nathan, without boring anyone into their own version of insanity.

So, I have promised myself that I will do WHATEVER I need to do, to get my brain power back AND still be able to care for my children the way only a mother can. This blog is to be my therapy...and you can let me know if it's working or if I should see an actual therapist. :)
