Figured I'd start here...

I've been looking for a place to keep my thoughts and share with others too. Hopefully I can be of help. Here are my promises. I promise to be honest. This means I will be honest with you even if the truth sounds bad. Here is one- motherhood is hard. It is amazing but it is hard. Take for instance today--my son Bryce (he is almost a year old) wanted to get in to everything! I am aware that this is normal behavior because 'oh hai mom...I can get around now so MOVE' but seeing as how we are first time parents, the whole baby-proofing thing isn't going too well. We have a kitchen cart that I just can't bring myself to get rid of. It has no purpose in this new apartment and just sits there egging my kid on 'come on Bryce, climb on me Bryce, I want to tip over on you Bryce'. I don't want to be the type of mom that says no-no-no-no-no...all day but that is what is happening! The same goes for our television and DVR-the waves they emit must have a beacon for infants/toddlers. Another promise- I promise to be me. There are not many circles I really fit in to anymore-none where I feel like I can be myself and here I can do just that. I can type what I want, vent about what I want, whine about what I want...just be me. I can't really think of more promises right now because it is after midnight and the bubbo is sleeping but I will post more later. I also need to go switch up my profile to get this thing going. I'm excited. Pictures and 'about me' to come!
