I have been thinking about blogging for quite some time, not because I think I have topics of great relevance to discuss, but because I think I need a place to air my thoughts. I am a SAHM, who also works remotely for an accounting firm in another state. I consider both jobs to be blessings, but the two together do not necessarily create opportunities for much adult conversation throughout the day. I do have the daily dialogue about debits, credits, and the occasional IRS correspondence...not exactly fodder for stimulating conversation. So, basically my mom, sister, and hubby have to absorb the impact of my social deprivation. My mom & sister live in a different state, and therefore, they are limited to daily phone calls where they struggle to get a word in edgewise. My hubby, on the other hand, is usually hitting his "wind-down stage" (where he is about to sit down and watch TV) when I am ready to talk. He gets this glassy-eyed look after the first five minutes, and while I don't claim to have ESP, I know exactly what is going through his mind. "How long is she going to ramble on about this? Can I turn my head ever-so-slightly toward the TV so that she thinks I am still listening but I can watch this game? Why must I pause the DVR fifteen times during this episode so that she can pontificate about every subject known to (wo)man?" So, being the loving wife that I am, and in an effort to spare him the annoyance of his yammering wife, I will blog...
