Wait, Have You Heard This One Already?

Image via WikipediaOkay, I've decided to give this blogging thing another attempt. It's not that I don't like to blog, it's that with trying to work with a new little guy in the house and all the crazy in our lives in the past few years (more on that later) I stopped because I wasn't sure if I had the energy to blog or if I was able to blog without just whining.

Plus with me writing for other websites, I wasn't sure I had anything new to say. I'm pretty sure I do, though, because sometimes people won't pay me to write what I'm thinking. For example, as I've dealt with the schools in relation to my son's recent diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome, I have some ideas percolating in my head about who really put the "ass" in Asperger's syndrome, but I'll tackle that another time.

When I brought up the re-blogging attempt with my husband, (who will be referred to as my husband because I refuse to revert to the standard-of-use DH, it's both too cutesy and too campy for me), he said he thought it was a great idea.

He's always wanted to start a blog, but said he doesn't have anything to say that anyone would want to hear. Of course, dutiful wife that I am (*snort*), I protested. It's true, though, he's kind of interesting and has a great snarky sense of humor.

He does tend to repeat his stories, though. To the point where even our kids feel comfortable jumping in and saying "You've told this one already!" at the dinner table. Well, our teenager revels in saying it and our middle-sized boy falls out of his chair laughing while he says it.

Which brings me to today's punchline. If I'm going to start blogging again about how tough it is to aspire to ordinariness, maybe my husband should start a blog to tell his stories. He could call it "Wait, Have You Heard This One Already?"
