I was somewhat intrigued but not surprised by the comments that you left for my last post*.
When I first started this blog it served merely as an online diary, a place of catharsis where I could blab about the trials and tribulations of infertility, something I did not wish to share with the real world at the time. It then evolved into a place where I could document the wonder of my pregnancies, the joyous milestones of my children and muse about motherhood.
Somewhere along the line I (re)gained a sense of humour, and with it an audience for my blog. An audience who, from my understanding, like to read my blather because it usually makes them laugh.
Right now I face a conundrum. You see, dear internets, I am currently in the midst of a rather persistent funk. A dark, viscous oiliness has permeated my brain, sucking all confidence and the ability to make light of life right out of my very person. It’s a persistent bastard, still lingering even though the kids and I have recovered from our poxes and palsies.
Funnily enough this black mood is causing a serious writer’s block. It is irritating and frustrating to not be able to concentrate on capturing those precious snapshots of my kids when they are both going through such rapid developmental leaps right now.
Do I attempt to purge myself of my current state of whiny teenage angst by writing annoying and depressing drivel that will bore all of you stupid, or do I try to find something humorous and therefore crowd pleasing to write about and hope that my mood lifts as a result of pretending that it’s all okay?
For fuck’s sake, mr hissychick is the one turning forty next week and I’m the one having the meltdown.
I guess what I’m trying to get at is that sometimes I don’t know who I’m writing for anymore.
I think I’ll shut up for now.
*Simone and Kathie best understood where I was coming from.

Get Drunk!
It will either give you a massive headache and therefore a valid reason for feeling shit or it will make you stupidly happy ( for a moment anyway)

It does help, even if the rest of you now think I’m an unstable fruitcake.
I do have a sense of humour, honest

Blog the milestones and precious moments of the day, even if you have to glean your rerun of the day twice through.
It will help you feel refreshed and not so down about staying home. It helps to remember these are things that makes living worth it.
Have a good weekend.

Posted by: Moomykin on August 22nd, 2008 at 4:51 pmYa…I guess sometimes looking at the better things in life or the positive moments can help bring us out of the gloom that so freq invades our life and soul.
But feel free to write anyhow you want. A blog is yours….we will love you and encourage you anyway and anyhow!
We are after all human and have our ups and downs!
Ann’s last blog post..Blue, bored and bewildered
Posted by: Ann on August 25th, 2008 at 2:32 amBeing (presumably) the only guy commenting here….
I do occasionally find myself writers-blocked; with that one time you rescued me with a suggestion (that Flickr thing). But sad as I ALWAYS make myself and my life out to be, something does happen that makes it worthwhile to blog about.
And why do I blog? Honestly, I started out thinking perhaps I could make some dough out of it. I admit I have made some, but only enough for a Macca’s meal. Okay a large meal. Somewhere along the way, I too found an audience, and the comments, exchanges were engaging, educational, funny, and the online and offline resulting friendships were encouraging enough to keep me going.
That’s good enough for me for now.
