In the Blink of an Eye

It has been exactly three years to the day since I last posted on this site.  Outside of moving five times, giving birth to two children, buying a new house and starting a new career, I seriously can't fathom what we've been doing to fritter our time away.  This was a venue which, for multiple reasons, I never saw myself returning.  Recently, however, my brother started a blog called the Choked Blowhole.  I find his writing to be amusing and highly entertaining.  For those of you interested you can find him at http://thechokedblowhole.wordpress.com/  Additionally, he revived in me the desire to express myself. 

Perhaps it is the lull of communications between myself and anyone over the age of four.  Perhaps it is a desire to download some of the thoughts pinging around in my brain at two a.m.  Or maybe it is the inflated ego needing a voice when people tell me that I really should write.  If you'll notice, there has been a change in name since my last postings.  One that I think much better reflects the new style of my blog.  Everything you find here really reflects a series of conversations.  Not necessarily coherent at all times.  Perhaps no main theme.  And probably digressing all over God's green earth.  I'm not billing this blog as prophetic or brilliant or even semi-coherent.  It's really just a reflection on some of the moments in life that strike me as funny.  A need to pontificate about the world at large.  There may, on occasion, be a post of some actual use regarding life as a military spouse, decorating conundrums or how to practically expand your family while moving into smaller quarters.  I wouldn't count on it, though.  I won't even promise to post on any sort of regular basis, although I am optimistically shooting for once a week.  For the most part I hope to find some threads of commonality in the everyday life while hopefully entertaining a few hardy folks.  Those of you still wishing to follow along, strap in, because Mr. Toad's Wild Ride is about to depart.
