Okay, so as I’m sure no one some of you may have noticed, I have scrapped my previous posts and have started from scratch. Is that cheating?
Oh well. I’ve never really cheated on anything, so I won’t allow myself to feel guilty. I had a pretty shitty year in 2009. I have had worse years, but last year was nothing to write home about…hence the deleting of the posts.
I’m sure I will be sharing a lot with the few that stumble across this site. Or perhaps I won’t. Maybe I’ll get bored with blogging like I so easily did before. Maybe I’ll decide this blogging thing isn’t for me. Who knows. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.
One of my biggest reservations is that I want to be able to talk openly here. I don’t see that happening. I mean, anyone can read this right? I have to protect myself, my family. My children. But I find myself coming back to the blogs I love to read. The families and stories I have become so fond of following.
I don’t know if saying that the following blogs have inspired me is the right way to say it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m inspired by Redneck Mommy, Free Anissa, Chicky Chicky Baby, Josie from Sleep is for the Weak, the Spohrs, the Gjertsens…but how can I ever compare to such beautiful and talented bloggers?? It’s absurd to even place myself in the same league. I already feel inadequate. Yet, here I am. Feeling this burning urge to blog. Might as well jump in with both feet, eh?
So here we go.
The name’s Woods. Erin Woods.
I’m a married mother of four beautiful girls. Yup, that’s right. Four. BEAUTIFUL. Girls. I already KNOW I’m in trouble. But I’m doing the best I can. Some days I feel like the worst mother in the world. Other days it’s more like, “Hey. I got this shit down. I fucking ROCK.” So is the rollercoaster that is parenting, right?
I am hoping to find my own little niche in the blogosphere. I hope to meet new friends and discover great things about myself. So, wish me luck. I’m new here and could use all the help I can get.
