Blog Makeover

It has been awhile since I have posted. Between the holidays, illnesses, the start of the semester at UT, starting grad school at C-N, applying for grad school at UT, rearranging rooms, moving furniture out, bringing furniture in, getting the house ready to sell and beginning to look at houses to move into, it has been a busy couple of months.

I still haven't decided on a theme for my blog makeover. I am considering the themes originally suggested, but I am also considering changing the theme of my blog from just about my kids and what we do (which is what I normally post) to what is really going on in my life as a single mom. I mean it is great to see what we have been doing, but wouldn't it be more interesting to know what is actually going on in our lives? I have considered blogging about some of the things that I face day to day, some of the emotions that I am experiencing, and the challenges of being a single parent. I know that I can't put everything that I feel on a blog because it is too public of a forum to express myself. I reserve the right to make myself fully known to only a few IRL friends, but I long for my blog friends to know the real me, not the person who puts a happy face on everything in a blog post.

So, I am going to makeover this blog in more ways than one. If you have any suggestions for a new them based on the information in this post, please send them my way. I am open to any suggestions you may have. Hopefully this change will allow me to feel like I have something more meaningful to contribute to the blog world than just fluff. Fluff is good and serves a purpose, but you need meat an potatoes to nurture yourself and relationships. So here's to the meat and potatoes of our relationship!
