Blogging.

I admit I love reading other people's blogs.
There are a few I read EVERYDAY.
I find them interesting,entertaining and informative.

I love blogging myself. But sometimes I find myself wondering what to blog about.
Not that I have a lack of things to share(I could fill a library) It's hard for me to figure out
"WHAT" is interesting,entertaining and informative. I want my blog to be all those things.

I could blog about the struggles of raising a teenage daughter.
But with MY teenage daughter there's hardly any struggles at all.She is such a joy to be around. YES she will be turning14 in a few days.And NO I am not crazy. ha ha (Maybe just a little crazy).
And YES every morning when I her her precious little feet coming downstairs I'm on pins and needles wondering if THIS is the morning the rude,rebellious teenager woke up in her bed instead of my sweet little angel..Imagine the relief I feel when she walks in and says"good morning" instead of Yo B***** what's shakin" yeah yeah I know kids don't REALLY talk like that these days but its my imagination and that is a scary place sometimes.ha ha ha

I could blog about having a 20 year old son in university and the part of me that realizes he is growing up and making grown up decisions that do not include his dad and I.And the struggle I am having with knowing how to cope.There are days when I cringe and bite my tongue and then there are days I swell with pride.And thankfully those days are in abundant.

There's a part of me that still sees a little boy in this grown up mans face.I guess every mom feels that way.
I'm unsure how to cope SO everyday is a new day ,a new lesson for me.


I could blog about the daily struggles of being an expat living so far from my family and my country. Even after all this time(yes it has been 8 years) I still get frustrated and want to "go home"... I miss the easy access to things I'm familiar with especially when I'm baking or wanting to buy a pair of ladies size 10 shoes. Why in the Hell does Sweden NOT have(insert anything I might need here)?

I am grateful God has given me my life and family both here and in the USA.
So I guess I shouldn't complain about any of this.

Wait ,YES I WILL!!! I'm human.(well at least after 3 cups of coffee I am)

I guess when it comes down to it,we all have the same struggles.We just learn at different times and different ways how to cope with them. Maybe by me blogging about my struggles others can read and realize we're all in this together!!!

Until next time folks,
