I'm in such a whirlwind right now. There are SO many communities online for people who blog. I had no idea. If only I'd known, I would have gotten involved with them years ago! I'm finding all of these great places but quickly finding that if I want to give all of this a proper shot, I would have to stop working elsewhere because I simply cannot keep up with all of these communities, forums and what-have-yous otherwise. And let's face it... I can't afford to quit actually working. haha
There are just so many fantastic discussions to get involved with. Best part is that they are such intellectual conversations about topics that matter - even the ones that are geared towards parenting. [I've had a lot of experience with parenting groups in the past and come to find that they are hardly geared towards parenting.]
Here's where you can find me so far!

Other Moms & Their Blogs
So I just joined up with BlogFrog. It's some sort of social networking ring for bloggers. Looked promising and in a way, it made me feel better to know that there are other moms out there who write about themselves and the lives of their families. Then again, it also made me feel like crap.
Look at them all with their cutesy pictures of their children. They all sound so happy and really have it together. Or perhaps that's just my perception since I'm in such a negative place right now. Who is going to want to read about some stay at home mom who doesn't have custody of her child due to some stupid custody battle that doesn't even make sense? I must sound so pathetic.
This is rather discouraging for me. My point isn't to necessarily attract readers, but then again it is. I mean, if I didn't hope someone read this then I would just write it all privately on my hard drive where no one would ever see it. The point is to get people involved. They should read and feel like someone else has been there. But I read these other mom's blogs and it makes me remember that they are in a place I used to be in, am not any more and don't know when or if I ever will be again.
Well damnit, here is MY cutesy picture to cheer myself up! Yes, my lovely daughter picking her nose. Can't wait until she gets her first boyfriend. *evil grin*
