Catching Up- a personal blog for my two adoring readers

OK so it's been three years since I've last posted and I admit that I have no idea what it's like to blog anymore. My last "real" post was probably written over four years ago, though for good reason. You see, I was so busy studying and writing for English classes (as well as courting my now husband) that I elected to share more essays rather than my random reflections, which strangely seemed to get more attention from people. In fact, the reason for my return to this blog is because I just discovered that I have followers whom I didn't know existed! It is strange to me that anyone would want to read my thoughts, but it is so flattering knowing that there are people who do and who are waiting for me to show my face again and tell my tale. Knowing I have an audience does motivate me to write again, so thanks for the support. I did start "The Anneotated Bib" in an attempt to refresh myself in this blogging thing back in 2009, but to no avail. Pregnancy and depression prevented such endeavors. However, now that I have some time on my hands with my two children and husband asleep, I feel like I can begin once more dusting off the old key board and perusing through this nearly neglected mind of mine.

Alright, to begin, I want to state that the tone of this blog will most likely be changing since the tone of my personal life has also changed. The aloof essayist of the past is no longer. My days as a student are over and the new life I am living tends to be more humble and deals with, what I believe to be, the more important aspects of life. You see, I am now a mother of two adorable "Irish" twins who have literally transformed into a person I honestly did not know existed. And as a result, I have found myself reflecting less on philosophical ideas and more on whether or not a half used diaper could be reused after a bath, or how in the world I can get my little toddler to stop screaming when she doesn't get her way. Thus will be the mode of all future posts barring I get a moment of personal reflection and, dare I say, have a moment to think real thoughts again! For now this will simply be a transitional piece that will open the door to future thought provoking, if not domestically entertaining conversation. Good to be back with you all, but for now, Ciao!
