A Lurker Changing Her Ways

Thanks to my precious friend (Sarah) luring me into the world of reading blogs, I have met so many amazing women. I have cried with these people, prayed for their children, and even come dangerously close to wetting my pants as I laugh at their stories. This is the stuff that lifelong friendships are made of, folks. Well, aside from one small issue.

Here comes the true confession…. I am (gulp) a LURKER. There, I feel better now that it is out in the open. Although I love these new friends I’ve “met”, they have no idea that I even exist. That can put a major kink in even the best of relationships.

So, in hopes of side-stepping that issue, I am allowing myself to get sucked into to the wonderfully time consuming, yet overwhelmingly gratifying world of blogging. Ladies, you've inspired me to keep record of Park's childhood, so that when my memory is long gone, this blog can remind me why I lost it!

I’ve always stopped short of starting my own blog, partly because what in the world does one write about in their first post? Should I introduce myself and my family, since I feel certain they will be the ones to give me most of my “material”? Should I just bust out with a post about my childhood or how I met my hubby? Should I start with something less serious, like my love/hate relationship with Target?

So, here I sit, typing away, yet saying nothing. Not the best first impression to give, I feel fairly certain.

Since I only have one chance to make a first impression, I think I’ll share something that will make most mothers like me instantly. (Why is it that we seem to take comfort in the pain of others?!) Sit down for this one. After PUSHING for 5 +hours in labor, my precious Park did not sleep 6 hours in a row until he was well over a year old.

Ok- so you like me now, but that is not really what I was going to share. Instead, I was going to post something I wrote to my sister and mom a few months ago about the joys of raising a toddler.

But, thanks to those experienced bloggers I’ve faithfully read for the last year, I have learned the beauty of the teaser! So, in their honor, I’ll wait a day to post it so that I can make sure the one person reading this will return to my site tomorrow.
