A Work In Progress

Hello! This is my first official post on my first official blog.  How exciting!  I will tell you though, I'm not sure if I'm 100% "in" with this blog yet.  First, let me tell you why I'm starting a blog.  I am great at many things, but sleeping is not one of them.  I adore sleep, I do, but my brain goes into overdrive when I lay down at night.  I feel as though I understand things more clearly, I think of more problems to solve, think of things I forgot to do, think of things I should have said, etc.  Therefore, I have had many a sleepless night.  I believe I have always been this way, I just didn't have as much to think about when I was younger.  So, a blog might help me get all my thoughts out, what has annoyed me, what I regret, what was funny, all my daily occurrences are now your problems too, I guess.  You're actually doing a civil service by reading my blog.  Why?  Because my dear husband needs someone to share the wealth with.  Daily, I get off work, get in the car, and call my husband.  Poor thing, he gets a rather detailed version of my life in the 10 hours I was at work.  He never complains.  He is a better person than me.  I would've told me to shut up now.  I would love for him to keep a tally of how many times in a week I say to him, "I was just thinking..." Hence the blog name.  So, reason #1, I need more sleep.  Reason #2, I don't want to drive my husband crazy.  Reason #3, and this one is a bit more personal and slightly embarrassing for me to talk about, I have severe anxiety at times.  Not just anxious tendencies, but, severe diagnosed anxiety.  In past attempts to move past this anxiety I have been told I need to keep a diary.  I've tried, but it's not effective.  I have so much to get out that I can't write fast enough.....frustration....hand hurts...quit writing...no sleep.  Typing is MUCH easier on me.  And, I actually think feedback would help me more than writing in a pre-teen era diary and shoving it under my bed at night.  Talk about feeling ridiculous.  So, with inspiration from a sweet friend that recently started a blog, I googled "how to blog," and here we are.  So what exactly is the work in progress you ask?  This blog, the title (I'm not sold on it, open to suggestions), and me.  I think we're all a work in progress though, right?  So, over time, maybe you'll get to know me, or get to know me better than you do already, while I get over myself.
