#MondayMusings

      

      I never really pay attention to blogging anniversaries or how many posts I have actually put up.  Sure, I have seen other bloggers happily sharing how they have made it to this milestone or that silently because I usually have my head lodged so far up my ass that I miss when things like that happen.

         
    

     Well, guess what?  For some reason, I woke up and literally smelled the coffee today and realized that I have published 900 posts on the Giggling Trucker’s Wife Writes!!!  This happy mess of Monday Musing is number 901!  So before this moment completely passes by without any acknowledgement at all, I will take this moment to jump up and down, and say “Look at me!  Look at me! Aren’t I special?”
 
       

      Why do I write?  It’s something to do, and let’s face it, it is way more fun than doing dishes, folding laundry, or housework.  Let’s be quite clear, I DO THAT TOO!!  I am a stay at home mom, but yes, I do more than just sit on my duff and take up space.  I cook, clean, crochet, knit, play piano, and play games, all sorts! I also juggle kids and dogs, literally.  I make the dogs do their duty outside and make the kids do their homework.  Yes, I do!  I also am honorary chauffeur to every after school activity event.  I cook too, which explains where all the dirty dishes come from.  Just as soon as I get them clean another heap appears.  It is a vicious cycle and an evil conspiracy that I will never be able to explain to you.


   
       So for all you folks that have taken the time to stop by and read the literal stream of BS that I have spewed, marveled at my haiku, and commented on my stories, thank you.  I love you guys.  You are proof that I am not completely wasting my time.  I will do my best to continue to deserve your devotion!

  13. Yay! Congrats. I'm right there with you--never paying attention to anniversaries or milestones. I've been blogging since 2008 and I'm only up to about 500 posts. Sometimes I think that's kind of sad, and then I realize there are a number of guest posts not included. Here's to your awesomeness!

    1. Crystal, the funny thing is that I had a blog before this one and I wrote solid for two years on that one...so actually I have probably posted a whole lot more! You have more kids than I do, and you actually write and publish BOOKS...yeah, not sure there is much comparison between us my talented friend. You are pretty amazing, and I am so honored to have you for a friend. Thanks so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
