Change in direction

I'm obviously not a good blogger.  I'm a sporadic blogger.  The reason for that is mostly because I don't feel like I have anything worth blogging about going on in my life.  Why would you care what I wake up and do in the morning?  Why would you care about my stresses, my highs, my lows. You don't even know me.  Nothing happens thats exciting in my life.  Half the time I don't even think my husband should really care about what happens in my day.  So instead of letting my boring life control my blog, I've decided to go the opposite direction...

I'm making a decision.  From here on out I will do something "blogworthy" at least twice a week.   My life has been shitty lately.  Marriage, work, and everything.  Obviously my son is always a good thing in my life but I sometimes think that's it.  My husband has taken some responsibility in this and has made huge steps to make changes for the better.  I can't, however, blame it all on him.  I am a firm believer that we create our own happiness in life.  We cannot depend on others and our current circumstances to make us happy. We have to choose to be happy. 

One of the things that has made me unhappy lately is that I feel like I'm stuck.  I'm stuck in my position at work, I'm stuck in a town where I know no one, I'm stuck far away from friends and family.  I sit at home alot because of these things and because it's easy.  It's easier to sit at home and play with Nathan than to take him out somewhere.  It's easier to eat frozen chicken tenders and sweet potato fries than to try to cook something (especially when A is out of town).  It's easier to stay home than to go visit my grandmother, or family, or friends (the few) that are within driving distance.  It's always about what's easiest.

So every week I'm going to do at least 2 blogworthy things.  There are blogs out there about everything from cooking, to adventures, to sports, to TV shows, to kids.  Twice each week.  Now, the TV shows one I'll try to avoid because (no offense to TV bloggers) I feel like that's one of those easy ways out for me.  It's easy to watch TV.  So, whether it's cooking a great meal (which is a pretty big accomplishment with a toddler and 30 minutes and a traveling hubby), going somewhere, doing something new or something I don't do often, or any number of other things I'm going to do it and blog it.  The pressure of the blog (all 9 of you) will hopefully force me to do something.  Hopefully that in turn will help me feel a little more satisfied with my life and be little entertaining for you, as I'm SURE to fail at some of the things I attempt and I will blog about those too.  The failures, the successes and all the in betweens.

So to those of you who have read my blog in the past thank you, to those who are reading it this time and those who read it in the future, I'll see you soon.  The adventure that prompted this will be blogged about soon...
