So, I was listening to MPR the other day on the way to work and they said blogs have been around for 10 years.
Where was I?
Oh, yeah - being a mom, working, going to meetings, changing jobs/careers, going to school, leaving school...Moving.
I like listening to MPR on the way to work. Early. In the morning. At 6:30 am. If I am on time. Yikes I never thought I would be able to handle going to work so early. I am actually on time most of the time, which was not so true when I worked at 8:30 am 8:00 am or 9:00 am. Maybe I am being more responsible. Or maybe just complete and total fear of losing a decent job by being late or absent too much has forced me to get out the door more or less on time.
Back to MPR
They did this "audio blog" thing that was extremely weird, all this talking in the background, interruptions, scrolling - but hey it was interesting and very creative. And it made me think that I have been missing something by not reading blogs.
I read stuff on MySpace that people put on their pages, I guess those are blogs.
I read my kid's blogs on MySpace.
Maybe I am just spying on her.
Being the mom to a teen can be - well - let's say it's a learning experience in how to be supportive, honest, a good example, patient and tolerant. How to navigate that line between what I did and how I behaved and how I hope she behaves and how she manages through all the teen stuff without sounding like a total hypocrite - it's not easy.
Am I a good example or just a horrible warning?
(thanks for the line, khc)
Ok outta here. This was kind of fun. Maybe I will try this again.
ta ta for now
