Here we go

I can't believe that I'm doing this.  I'm blogging.

I'm a pretty private person.  For instance, when I worked at Blockbuster Video in 1995 I was 18 years old and refused to pick my favorite movies for a row of "Jean's Picks".  I simply didn't want people knowing my favorite movies.  At that time, as is true with most teenagers, I was more self-conscious than I am now.  

Now I'm going to air out all of my dirty laundry.

I'm getting published!

The Mighty informed me yesterday that it is going to publish my last post, "My Complicated Relationship with LinkedIn."  It's a thrill!  I just started blogging in the last two weeks.  I am writing as a form of therapy, and with the hope that my story will help someone else.  There are so many things that I can't do. But I can write.  Look for me on The Mighty soon!

About Me

I'm the mother of 3 wonderful children who both amaze me and drive me crazy.  They at 11, 12 and 15 years old.  Not very young kids, but not yet grown. My dear parents are in their mid-70s.  Old enough to have slowed down a bit, but not so old that they need my help on a regular basis. I'm a lawyer by training, but I've retired my law license.  At 44 years old.   I have several disabling conditions that have prevented me from working for five years now.  But I do plenty of work.  I'm a stay-at-home mom and homemaker. I'm an aspiring writer. I'm Catholic by upbringing, but am (probably) in the process of leaving the Church.  Last month's announcement by the Pope that priests cannot bless same-sex marriages was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back.  I just don't think I can stay anymore. I've been happily married for 18 years. There are no "buts" when it comes to my marriage.
