Jen at Conversion Diary has had the brilliant idea of creating a one-time blog carnival in which we can post a link to the one post that seems to define our blogs. The one post that could give a good description of what our blog is about on a daily basis. I love this idea, and I've been thinking about it all morning.
I have trouble picking one, though. Do I link to one of my more serious posts, because that's what I feel deep inside? Or do I link to one of my goofy stories, because that's what I most often write about? Really, the post that would be most representative of my blog-style is probably one of my Quick Takes - I am nothing if not random.
But to pick one post, I went through my archives all morning and found one that I think presents my life in the way that it most often comes across on this blog. Sometimes messy, sometimes silly, and usually with a bright side thrown in. Something that shows my love of my vocation, my calling as a mother. So I picked this one: This Is The Thanks I Get?, about a midnight bedwetting.
Read it if you have a minute, and tell me what you think. Is it representative of my blog? Does it describe what you know about me?

I love it. I love how it's funny and grimy and full of love. So very much captures the vocation of motherhood.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this. I just went and added mine to the list! I chose a serious one... even though I'm almost never serious.
ReplyDeletePerfect! It totally sums up the fabulous blend of ironic, tongue-in-cheek optimism I've come to love your blog for. "Someone has the yucky!" I love it.
