I'm a blabbermouth

I've been informed that I write too much. I replied that if someone doesn't want to read this, they don't have to! I know there's a lot of my family that's missing all this and likes to read it, even if it is long.

Besides, this actually isn't for everyone else. The Stories were started as a way for me to create a more effective diary, and to share my day-to-day happenings with someone special. I just decided that instead of only emailing them and having one person read them, I'd share them with everyone. I'd be typing just as much and getting twice as much done!

As I have looked over The Stories this evening, I admit that I do type a whole lot. But I knew that before. I go to great lengths (literally) to translate the visual and verbal goings on of my day so that when I look back over these Stories years from now, I will fully remember what it was I was writing about.

And another thing that is important to me is that I record these silly little day-to-day things before they disappear into my memory bank. After I hit the pillow, exhaustion tends to wipe away most of the previous day. And I feel that cute things such as my children do should be recorded now so they will be remembered later.

There, my last thought for the day. Pillow of Oblivion, here I come!
