The Neverending Story

Dear Friends, Family and Followers,

I can't believe I haven't posted to my blog since August 2010.  How embarrassing!  Well to say a lot has happened since then is a total understatement.  The understatement of the century, as a matter of fact.  I have experienced seismic shifts in my life....changes in relationships, loss and grief, making new friends, old friends found anew, kids growing up, work bullshit (that's about the only thing that is the same day after goddamn day), politics and the imminent death of our constitution.....these are all topics you can look forward to in the coming weeks.  I find it a bit daunting to even try and backtrack, tackling the topics of the past two years.  Even worse, just the last one.  In case you were unaware, I am the queen of compartmentalisation (is that even a word? And if it is, did I spell it right?) and I fear the sorting out of all this mess will be too emotionally difficult.  Because I will feel the need to put this over here, and that over there, and...oh, what is THAT?  I don't even know where to put that.  I will be forced to face everything and give it a name.  But I know at the same time it will be cathartic, to write it down, all neat and tidy.  Maybe I will try and present the various past happenings only in the framework of how it is impacting my life today.  As things come up, you know.  That usually makes for the best kind of writing anyway...off the cuff.  Like right now.  So my original intent of this blog was to record some of the hilarity that was gifted upon me by my two beautiful, wonderful, smart, funny, and sometimes sick and twisted children.  But it deserves so much more than that.  I have thoughts and ideas, opinions....oh LOTS of opinions.  Oh yes.  This blog will be so much more, my friend.  So much more. 

My faithful blog, how I have missed you. 

It is time.
