A Refocus of Sorts
The first thing I should say here is that before I had Benji, I was really afraid of this blog becoming a mommy blog. I was determined that I would not just write about Benji, but that I would rather continue on writing about the random things I always had.
Call me naive, but this is much harder than I had originally thought...
Why? Well, first of all, I usually blog about things that I think about and have some commentary on. Now, I THINK and reflect a lot about Benji and being a mom (this is part of what you sign up for when you give birth- your brain changes). I have a hard time not writing about my experience as a mom all the time now. Second, especially right now, I am just not out as much doing things that don't involve Benji. I am not back at work yet, I don't often go places without him, and more to the point, my life all of sudden has a bit of a different focus to it. It is no longer about what I want to do all the time, but rather what I NEED to do a lot of the time.
So, I hope that is a bit of an explanation for the fact that I will be writing a bit more about mom stuff. The funny thing about this explanation is that I don't really know who reads this blog other than the few who comment on it or who talk to me directly about it. I am assuming there are about three people who read. That is fine with me, in the end, I write it for myself and not for an audience, and that is ultimately why I feel like I can just let it evolve. My apologies to those who are uninterested, but let the fun begin.
