My Very First Blog

So it's official now. I'm a blogger. I blog. Hmmm. Isn't life suppose to make sense now? Who knows? Anyways,... So, I'm Heather, If you haven't heard. I have a lot of things to say and I love speaking my mind, but for some reason there's a wall up tonight. Very inconvenient for my first blog, huh? Ever since I've understood what blogging is, I thought it was kind of dramatic and a little childish. Who else but needy sho-offs need to post their feelings and thoughts to the public? But being recently married (which rips away your rights of privacy), and living in the same 4 bdr. house with 4 other adults and 4 minors (3 of those being 6 and under), I've come to the conclusion that a little down time on the computer, sharing thoughts and feelings, could, If anything, raise my patience level. I need something I can do that is just totally by myself without anyone else's participation or opinion on. And I love my husband, don't misunderstand, and I love sharing my thoughts and feelings with him almost as much as he loves hearing them. But, being completely honest, sometimes I just want to talk without it having anything to do with him. I want to be able to speak freely without worrying about hurting someone's feelings or being rude or not being very lady like. Which I use to never worry about those things, but now that I have more responsibilities and becoming an adult it turns out that I really do have to care about those things. I always thought I'd never care about those things, but the fact is you really can't just be completely real 24/7. You have to put on a nice facade sometimes, or pretend to have really good manners now and then. But there is some good about this- people tend to take you seriously more often because you "seem like" you have your shit together. So point is- I really need some public privacy I guess. Privacy from the people I have to put up with constantly, but still getting my thoughts and feelings out there so I don't explode. So there ya have it- that's why I decided to start blogging. Well, that, and Shaun inspired me! Thank you all for being my priest in my non-religious confessional booth.
