This is me stepping out of my comfort zone. I am scared. This is all so new and beyond my depth. You are witnessing me taking my first step. I welcome you to my mind dump of anything and everything that goes through my middle aged, menopausal, mom of young adults, wife of a very patient husband head. Trust me its exploding.
I want this blog to be a safe and open minded place to express ourselves. Support one another in this stage of life as our minds and bodies change, as our family dynamics change. Also a little humor and a glass of wine helps too.
Why did I decide to do this? Maybe its because my estrogen patch isn’t strong enough and my hormones are making me literally crazy. Or maybe the reason is my two daughters are flying or about to fly the coop and I feel my purpose of being a stay at home mom is ending. All I know is I am going through a very strange time in my life and it can feel very lonely. So I figured I would try to find others perhaps feeling the same way about life. So I will start by ending this intro with what my daughters say after bringing up a topic.
Any thoughts, comments or concerns?
Your friend,
Venting Mama
