What is blogging?

          Well here I am, doing something that I had never foreseen myself to do. Blogging. Sure, while I love to ramble on and on to my mother and grandmother until they have entered a lethargic state of mind, I’ve never been the type to put myself out there to strangers. I suppose you could say that I almost feel “guilty” spewing my issues, thoughts, burdens, and fears onto people that probably have their own muck to get through. I’m sure my family does too, but that’s what they’re there for, right?
                My name is Stacy, I’m a USMC wife and mother to a beautiful, too smart to be a good thing, 2 year old daughter. I’m currently one of those “stay at home” moms, though it’s never really been my ideal dream. Now I’m not saying that I don’t appreciate and love every second that I get to spend with my daughter, and cleaning up the same things about 25 times a day; but I am a woman who enjoys working and reaping the rewards. I suppose I have yet to find a "routine" that keeps me completely content with being home all the time. Before entering the military life I worked as a graphic designer for almost 4 years, my daughter would be with the sitter at that time and we had a routine. I loved that there was never a day where I didn’t know what would happen(unless of course an emergency came up).
                Now when I awake in the morning, I tend to look at the ceiling and think about what I am to do with my whole day. Dishes were finished last night, so I’ll have to definitely make a few meals to dirty more, and the vacuum was ran two days ago and for some reason dust bunnies are allergic to my house. Which I’m sure most would say is a blessing, but even running the vacuum breaks up the monotony some days and is almost enjoyable. Especially when I get to chase my daughter around with it while she cackles uncontrollably.
                My usual days begin with; breakfast, art and crafts, cleaning up the arts and crafts, and then a little wind down TV time before the long anticipated nap time! Generally, I also take a nap when my daughter does, I ALWAYS sleep better when I know it’ll only last for an hour at most, but when I have days that naps aren’t looking good for me I tend to do other very worn out hobbies; play a video game for about 15 minutes, remember that I beat it years ago 5 times over, re-read a book and then realize that I can recall the whole thing word for word, or I’ll grab one of my canvases, bust out the pencils or acrylics and work on something for my DH or DD.  
                This blog has been one big random cluster of nothing of importance to anyone but myself, but I can I can be honest and say that I'm doing this as a stress relief, an escape from my anxiety, and of course adding a new hobby every now and then is necessary. I suppose with my next blog I'll delve right into the real reasons as to why I'm here, which is all that I just mentioned. Prepare thyselves. :P
               Also, forgive me for the run-on sentences, improper use of ; and :, and I'm also terrible at using wrong words. My mind goes a lot faster than my fingers. Thank you ^_^
