I can’t remember not being a mom. I’ve been blogging for 11 months (and fading). I’ve been a grandmother for seven years. I’ve been married cumulatively for 30 years. I’ve never had a sparkling clean house, at least not all rooms at the same time. I’ve been on a diet forever. Well, mostly not on a diet, but I say I am. I still own clothes from the 70’s.
Well, today is a first. I’ve been working at the same place for five years in a row. I always said I wasn’t a same time, same place kinda girl. And from the punches on my timecard, at least part of that is true.
“How did it happen? Five years in the same place?
In the end, Alzheimer’s had turned the person I knew as my mom into someone neither of us knew. I tried on several occasions to convince her that I was really her daughter. “I don’t see how that can be,” she said, “when we’re the same age.”
That’s how I felt about today — “I don’t see how I could have been here for 5 years. Isn’t it still 1990?”

Don’t get discouraged blogging. I love reading your blog and I seriously get joy from your blog every day even though I may not comment. People need to find out about you, your candor and your wit. It will catch on like wildfire and they will totally be converted. You seriously bring smiles to people’s faces and it will pay off. Bloggers tend to come and go… including people who blog and those who read. Keep it up. I thoroughly enjoy it.
I’ve told you before, you don’t need to diet!
Please keep blogging!!!

I completely agree with Christy. Your blog always brightens my day. Others will find you, they just lag!
