She Lives

So I’ve been a little absent lately.

(yes I know that is a gross understatement)

There has been a lot going on lately and I just needed a little time to….get my shit together.

First of all, the most obvious change, my blog. Sarcasm in a Skirt was a title that I didn’t really come up with and to be quite honest never felt comfortable with. It just didn’t feel like me. It’s hard to explain. I felt like the title was constantly pressuring me to be sarcastic and honestly I save most of that for twitter. I tend to blog about things that are a little closer to my heart. Like my son, my family, my friends, my life.

I spent a lot of time “soul searching” so to speak as to whether I wanted to continue on as a general-family-ohmygod dare I say mommy-blogger. I became convinced that unless I found a niche, I would be wasting everyone’s time, including my own. Let’s just say it was a rough half-hour.

As a few of you know I also spent a few months back in the working world. That was a treat. Basically I spent the better part of four months trapped in my own personal version of hell. I am apparently such a bad person that two of the women working there actually made verbal threats to other workers that “she (me) is to be avoided and you are not to be caught talking to her”. Please keep in mind that these are grown ass women. It was a ridiculously funny and yet stressful situation.

As if all of that wasn’t enough to keep me busy, I decided to really send myself into a tailspin by starting a new business. You know those people that are said to be able to sell ketchup popsicles to women in white gloves? Yeah, I’m not one of those people. I never sold the most girl scout cookies or raised the most money selling calendars and candy bars. So I did the absolute most logical thing I could think of and signed up with a direct sales company. You can see the logic in this right?

So the past few months have been a little nutso around here but I promise I’m going to be better about tending my new home.
