Ustacould.

Anyone remember Jeff Foxworthy's "Things Rednecks Say?"

"Ustacould" was one of my favorites.

As I was cleaning out my Gmail account last night, I came across many a comment notification email that prompted me to do some walking down the memory lane of this blog.

And I realized that I ustacould blog really well.  About a lot of different things.

And now my posts are few, far between, and almost all about this baby of mine.

Now he is pretty spectacular and all, but I am under no new-mom delusions that you all share my fascination with this beautiful genius of a child.  ;)

And I also know that one of my goals as a mom is to not be that mom.


You know, the one who has no life but her child?

I've been working really hard to avoid that plight, staying connected to things that are important to me, getting a sitter and getting out of the house, etc.  And I think it is time that I applied that concept to my blog as well.

So bear with me, but I'm going to work really hard to get my blogging mojo back, to explore stories and topics that aren't always related to mothering, to go beyond the monthly update.

Have no fear, there will be plenty of that too.  But it's time to branch out again...

And that is all.  I guess I just needed the accountability of actually writing that little moment of self-awareness on here for all the world to see.
