Yes, I looked at a Thesaurus and it states that MUSING is "continuous and profound contemplation or musing on a subject or series of subjects of a deep or abstruse nature". Wow. I should have read that before I named my blog- it's a lot to live up to. And there...just like that I've ended a sentence with a preposition.
I have a lot of musings (admittedly, they are sometimes just simple thoughts) but they are all about the subject of being a mom and all that that entails. Who knew 30 years ago that I would be sitting here today, writing about my four kids who are decidedly not kids anymore. But they're MY kids and they'll always be MY kids. I love that about them.
It's a whole new experience sitting across from your kid, having a cup of coffee and talking about life's ups and downs. But it wasn't always like that. There were times where I was pulling my hair out in frustration, felt sick with worry, and felt almost inept at the task of parenting. I learned and I grew alongside my kids and when I look back, I am quite proud of the job I did. I have four remarkable human beings to show for my parenting resume and this blog will be a forum for me to talk about how I did it, why I did it and what I actually did for the past 30 years that brought me to the place I'm at today.
I hope most of all, that other parents will read my words and commiserate, contemplate, maybe, I dare say, even learn from my mistakes and my successes. Stay tuned for more "musings"....
