She's gone! She's gone!

Wow, can it be? I read the most exciting bit of news on my Comcast.net homepage this evening. A certain oh-so-obnoxious (OSO) talk show host, who will remain nameless, has decided that she will take an early departure from her talk show that she co-hosts with 3 other women (I can't actually say "ladies" because two of the four hosts are merely "women" in my book.). Now, I don't watch much TV, and don't even like this talk show. It's one I've watched maybe 10 times in its 10(?) seasons. I simply don't like the hosts, but this OSO woman takes the cake. After reading a news blurb last week about OSO determining that our U.S. troops are terrorists (oops, did that give it away?) and being angry because sweet-Christian-Republican (SCR) host said nothing to defend OSO. My thinking (as if OSO or SCR care) is that SCR actually did OSO a favor by keeping her mouth shut. I mean...had it been me, I would have commented back that I also disagreed with OSO. SCR did the better thing by merely keeping silent. Now to campaign for the redhead to disappear and see if a meaningful conversation could ever be had. All of this said, maybe I will tune in next week and watch for a moment or two. I, for one, am glad to see this atrocity of a host GONE.

Story of the vanishing blog

Well, well, well. Somehow my first blog has vanished - or rather I am no longer able to log in, which really is not that big of a deal, because I believe I had only posted once, though it was really rather nice. My kids were all in a good place and I was feeling immensely satisfied with my family, my life, and myself at the moment. When you have four teenage girls, that feeling of satisfaction can change pretty quickly. Or rather...the "kids were all in a good place" can change on a dime, depending on hormones, cycles and all that good stuff. But mostly, I do feel very blessed. Nobody's been arrested. Nobody's ever run away (though I'm sure in their minds, at least one or two of them have dreamed of this on a short-term basis). Nobody has totally wigged out on a long-term basis. But more importantly, I am blessed with having a healthy family, one that works together to look out for the best interests of each other, and, most importantly, a family that loves God. Really, it can't possibly get much better than that.


So this is now my 'other' first blog, or rather my first blog of my crazyladycheryl blog. Why the name? Well, to be perfectly honest, I couldn't think of anything other than using my name (boooring) and creative juices are pretty low in general. Much of the time I feel like a crazy lady, running here and there, working 3 different jobs, in addition to the whole wife/mother/family organizer gig. Don't get me wrong, I love every minute of what I do, but it still leaves me feeling like a crazy lady most of the time.

Crazy or not, it's me, and this is my blog.
