While on her site I noticed that in her list of favorite blogs was one entitled, ‘Suddenly Mommy’.
This intrigued me, could it be a blog related to my life? Is someone out there writing about her challenges? So I clicked on it. Yes, yes it was a blog that related to my life. She starting dating her husband when his son was 1.5 years old (me too!), they dated a year and a half and got married (me too!), craziness. We are not quite married yet, nor am I pregnant, but we are very similar nonetheless.
So I decided I might just end up stalking this complete stranger and see how life treats her, how she deals with things and what I can learn. Or maybe, I’ll be obsessed a few days and forget about it, most likely. I’ve thought about doing a blog myself, privately for my own review or maybe share it with a few people. I thought about discussing the trials of what it’s like to suddenly become a mom. There are unique challenges, joys and emotions that come with it. Most people don’t understand you unless they have been there. Maybe my record can bring light to others about this life change than our parent’s didn’t face and most of our friends wouldn’t consider.
I might have just been inspired to start another small project I won’t keep up with or finish…but in the meantime it’s an effort to waste time that I think is fabulous. So for all the suddenly mommy’s wanting to waste a few minutes here and there, I present the blog (or the return to blogging) of a complete stranger (or not as the case will probably be) that lives somewhere in Minnesota.
