Honestly.
I cannot even wrap my head around the fact that I am typing out our 500th post!
Holy.
Shit.
I
don't even know how this happened! I am just sitting here staring at the
computer screen speechless. No, now I am laughing because of the irony… I
am speechless because I was not speechless… 500 freaking times! 750+ times if
you count the 250+ posts I wrote on tiredofbeingpregnant.com.
Redonkulous.
I'll
be honest, I always say I am going to stop writing the blog. I declare to
FTD I am finished with blogging and going to focus 100% of my effort on finding
a "real job," and then I get a snack and write a post.
I.
Can’t. Stop. Writing!
FYI:
I have been like this since I can remember. My mom bought me my
first journal when I was 7 so I would have a place to put my wild stories.
More or less, she was tired of hearing them.
Writing
is what I truly love to do. You would have thought I would have gone to school
for writing, but no, I went for a double major in Marketing and Business Management.
I never thought my writing was good enough to make a living from, so I took the
practical road through college and majored in something I could make money
doing. Still, I realize now it is a shame I didn't even take one Creative Writing
or English course, because my punctuation, syntax and grammar are for total
shit! I guess none of that mattered when all of my writing was still no more
than putting my running dialogue in my private journals…
Never
in my life did I ever think I would be writing my 500th post as a "mom
blogger." You all, true story, I didn't even know this world of mom
bloggers --9 million mom bloggers to be exact-- existed until I was a few
months into writing this blog and I got my first fellow blogger chain-letter-like
blogging award. That's when I saw a list of 11 other fellow bloggers getting
the award as well, that to my surprise, were blogs just like mine. The only
difference was that they had catchy names - most of which had some sort of
booze in the title... "Mommy Loves Vodka.” "Diapers or
Wine" "I drink and swear" I often think that I wish I would have
known about this mommy blog network before becoming one for two reasons, 1. I
would have picked a catchy fun name like the others 2. I would have put Fuck in
the title so people would know right off the bat what they were dealing with.
I
digress... from what I don't know... I just think I am not going in the right
direction with this current line of thought...
WHOOO
HOOO! It is my 500th post and you probably deserve some sort of compensation
for reading so much of my nonsense. I especially owe lots of money to
Jessika and Claire, you two have been reading my nonsense since July of 2010
when I was still complaining about constipation, gas and FTD being an idiot Neanderthal
who could never understand what I had to go through to grow our child! You
two were my first two readers, and probably should have your heads checked for
sticking with me this long.
As
for Shay, Becky, Foodpixie, Mrs. L, Ninja Kitten, Alissa, Lauren L and Esther, you
round out the top ten of my first dedicated readers. shit… remember those good old
days when I was sure pregnancy was the first ass kick of Karma my mom promised
me I would get with my own kids? I
cannot believe you all are still here after all of my bitching! Head check for
you too… Wait! Before you get the head check and you come to your senses, please
know... I love you. Long. Time.
Ok,
I am going to stop now because honestly, I really don't want any of you to come
to your senses, I love writing and knowing you are out there encouraging me to
keep going.
I
will just end this rant by saying…
Thank
You so much to all of you who continue to come back to read this blog.
Because of you, I actually think my dream to be a proper writer may just
come true one day... or really... because of you I feel like it already has....
