Limitations

So, I've written blogs before; a couple of times actually. I've never been good at keeping up with them. I think it boiled down to not being up to keeping up with the Joneses.



You see, I have a regular set of blogs that I peruse every day, and I wish I could be like them. I want to be their friends.  I want my house to look like theirs.  I want perfectly coiffed children with smiling faces. I want to take stunning pictures that are artsy and cool.



For a thousand reasons, that is simply not me. You see; it comes down to this: I'm basically lazy (shhh…don’t tell anyone).  I admit that while I have fits of creativity; I get completely wrapped up in the thinking phase and never rarely move on to the doing phase.  So as badly as I want a blog about how I decorated my entire house for under $500 using up-cycled furnishings I found at Goodwill, or how I organized my pantry in three simple steps, it’s just not going to happen.



I figure I am not alone. Hence, the Red Headed Step Blog was born. She’s not like the others. She’s not the one you want to be, but she might be the one you are, if you’re brave enough to admit it.



Don’t get me wrong, I'm not giving myself an entire pass here. You may see posts where I actually do create, decorate and wipe the chocolate milk mustache off my kids before I take their pictures.  And, I really DO need to work on that lazy thing, but I’m not going to dwell on it.
