Bipo

i feel like my blog can't decide what it wants to be. it's having a case of the bipolars. which according to what i just learned in psych 2 weeks ago, is not fun so much. and a little draining. should it be a "lighthearted, funny stories" blog? a "look at my kids" blog? a "single, divorced dating stories" blog? a downright "truth telling, although sometimes depressing and not a lot of pictures" blog? a "i'm crafty, you're not" blog? (actually, let's be honest, that won't happen) i tell you, the options are endless. and i've gone back and forth plenty of times. well, as many times as i might think about my blog, which is bottom tier on my priority list at this moment. although actually at this very moment, it's top due to the fact that i'm currently avoiding precious homework and study time. but i guess i'm realizing that i have a hard time pretending when i write. as much as i'm not a writer, and can be somewhat of a private person in some areas, writing can be therapeutic. so i realized whatever i write is my reality, bipolar or not. at this time in my life, i can't write that everything is rainbows and butterflies because it's not. it's hard. life is hard. school is hard. i feel like a constant letdown to everyone around me, kids being the very first. but i'm learning that i can do hard things. and trials are temporary. and i can choose my attitude. and i'm trying to be positive. it's a daily battle, but i still try and fight. i feel like if i can survive the next 6 weeks left in school, i can make it. but until then, i will be pulling my hair out, and crying a lot, and losing a lot of sleep. but that's life sometimes. so in the meantime, i'll write what i feel. whether its a good day and i see my kids for more than a couple hours and i happen to take lots of fun pictures of them...or whether it was a horrible day, and my teacher was the devil,i failed another test, cried for an hour, and tucker sobbed when i left the house for the 3rd time. so my blog will continue to have the bipolars because some days are good, some are bad, and some are in between. but i'm still a mom with kid stories, a single with dating stories, and a cynic (too much so) with some stories that may not be the happiest. so i'll write what i feel and i suppose it might keep the 2 readers of my blog on their toes as what might be next. now back to work...more psych reading.

I love your blog! I love hearing about your kids and I LOVE your dating stories! I also like to read about your sad times because they make us other moms feel like we aren't alone! Above all your blog is for YOU!

I love all those aspects of your blog, Bonnie! And I think you are a wonderful mom!

Jenn said...

well, i for one love your bi-polar blog! :) i have some friends who have different blogs for different things and that is just WAY too much work! (for them...and lets be honest for me...I am not going to read 4 different blogs to try and figure out what is going on with you!)

your blog is honest and lets me know what exactly is up with you at the moment, and that is why I read it! I want to know what is going on in your life, and I love that you don't censor out parts.

Anyway, I am so sorry that you are up to your eyeballs in stress. I know that this too will pass, and I am proud of you for getting up everyday and at least attempting to see the world positively! Keep up the good work! And when you are exhausted and grumpy and need to vent the stress out, your blog readers will be here supporting you! Love from our little fam to yours!

I think your a great writer. I also think blogs are just about life, good or bad. And I totally agree with you that writing is like therapy. I am sorry that things are hard right now. I'm really impressed with you & all that you do.

Chantel said...

I love that you write for therapy. And to tell the truth. I learn a lot about you from reading your blog and, heck, I live with you. I'm praying you have a better week. You deserve it.

You are amazing. Plain and simple. Thank you for reminding me that no matter how hard life gets, I decide how I will react to it. :)

Alli said...

Bonnie, you are doing great, just keep chugging along and you'll get thru it. Don't worry about us, we'll take you as you are and love you no matter what :)

Bonnie,
I am one of your blog stalkers and do you wanna know why? Because it is real and not some candy coated, sparkly, perfect documentary of the perfect life. It is real and honestly I can relate to all you write. I think your freakin fabulous. So keep it real and in your face and dont worry. My blog is as bipolar as it gets. But it is what it is MY journal.

Unknown said...

Quite honestly, I don't read the blogs that are sparkly and perfect. Too boring and too annoying! Like your other readers (and there are well more than two), I love that you tell it like it is. You have a crazy, wonderful life and your blog reflects that. I love and miss you sooooooo much it hurts! I can't wait until we're closer and I can help out more.

Okay so when I read the first two lines on my google reader I thought it was funny but this is a very serious post. I just want to tell you that I think your blog is great. You are right, it should be about your life and life isn't always peachy. You are such a great person Bon. I am so sorry that life is so challenging right now. I love you and hope that things start to get better. Hang in there sister:)

I love that you are honest as well. First of all, your stories are hilarious. Second of all, it's good to have a variety. Rainbows are boring. Love you girl! Let's catch up soon!

I echo the others...Let the truth fly! I love your blog and you!
