Confession

I had to delete my previous post. (Sorry to those that made supportive comments!) Not because of what I said. But because of a comment that was made. I don't know who the commenter was because they only left their first name, and I know about a billion people with that name. So. I have to respond to the comment here. In front of everyone. I've actually debated posting this and gone back and forth several times. So, I'm just going to throw it out there. And hopefully someone can say something nice in the end, so I can have my warm fuzzies back. And I can return to the fun posts.

I am a mom. And a damn good one. BUT, I am not only a mom. I actually do have a life beyond motherhood. I am a wife (a good one), a friend (a good one), and also a woman(a good one). I am a woman that would like to take a shower, preferably on a daily basis (it rarely happens), work (someday), explore my talents, and maintain my brain. I have bad days (who doesn't?). Sometimes my kids drive me nuts (if yours don't, then you are lying). But, I give them every ounce of attention that I can. They are fed, clothed, polite, funny, caring young men, that I know are going to grow up and be wonderful human beings.

I enjoy making my house a home and I am positive that my family agrees that our house is a home. I am happy crafting and doing activities that often involve glue guns and drills. And I know the boys love to help out. If they didn't, they would tell me (all of them, hubs included).

Why do I feel the need to explain myself? Because that's who I am. I don't like it when people say hurtful things and I don't like offending anyone. I hope that people read my blog and enjoy what I've said and get a good laugh at the ridiculous things that go on in a house full of boys where I am trying to maintain my sanity and keep chaos to a minimum. I also hope that people find my ideas fresh and can maybe take one or two with them. Or, I can take some of theirs. Give and take people. Give and take. As we say in our house, "Work as a team."

I blog (okay, I write a journal for the entire world wide web to read) because I know that my family and close friends like to see what is going on in the daily life of the Thor family. I also do this because I want to be able to look back on these entries and see all the challenges, and triumphs we have had over the years. I can't be all frilly and joyful every day (although I pretty much am), some days are not the greatest. Really. It's true. Some days just really suck. But, if I can't write about them as well as share all the fun things I am doing around the house, then those of you that don't like it, don't have to read it.

I write for my family. I write for my friends. I write for me. That's it.
