Tag! I’m it!! Laura over at Writing Thoughts has me tagged for a meme as to why I blog. Thankfully my PC is fixed and operational so I am only a few days behind in getting to this.

Why do I blog? Many people have asked this and even fewer have gotten answers so for those of you I have politely dismissed (cause I couldn’t think of an answer at the time) I will try to explain now.

Sometimes my reasons for blogging are purely selfish. I need to rant, vent, cry, complain and there has to be a way to let out how I feel without causing World War III to erupt in my home.

I won’t lie, I blog because I have seen a lot of people become somewhat successful and earn some extra money doing this. As a sahm of 4 children (all under 12) having the extra money is a must. There are 8 feet that grow out of shoes faster than I go through laundry soap.

It gives me a way to connect with other writers and sahms… this blog is mainly about being at home with kids all day and working through the struggles of becoming a successful freelance writer. It has become a way for me to explain and discuss what I do all day and finding the time, sanity, and energy to put something coherent on paper in the hopes that someone will want to hire me

Lastly, I feel I have something to say. I know that there have been posts where people haven’t always agreed with what I have said and that is perfectly fine with me. I don’t expect everyone to see things my way, all the time. I think I am like most wahms… I struggle with bedtimes, making the right decisions for the family, finding time to work and not put my family on the backburner… It becomes a struggle, lonely and tiresome sometimes… but then I come here, recollect my thoughts, put them down and let you all read them. It’s like being able to turn the voices in my head (my readers) on and off. If someone out there is rowing the same boat that I am, then this doesn’t feel so tiresome and I can get up the next day and know the ocean I am in, is not so lonely.

Now… who to tag… Let’s go with Lisa over at Work At Home Mom Revolution, and Jenny, who is lovingly Flawed and Disorderly.

    You’re so sweet to think of me! Thanks! Why do I blog…..good question. I’ll have to think on that one. I’ve taken a little break from blogging until I get my tax extension squared away, but hopefully I’ll get that done by the end of next week! I will get to this tag…eventually! Ha! πŸ˜€

Hi there!

I’m Nikki and I’m thrilled to have you here. I’m powered by a good chai latte, loads of chocolate, and humor. Here at Know-it-all Nikki, I dish up honest conversations about self-care and mental health. I also share living with a congenital heart defect, my love of books, knitting, midlife, and life as a Buckeye exploring The Last Frontier. So, pull up a seat, grab your tea, and let’s spill some tea, have a lot of laughs, and a few good cries. To learn more about what makes me tick, CLICK HERE

I didn't think i would need a laptop today. Turns I didn't think i would need a laptop today. Turns out I was slightly wrong. Prepared as always with all my electronics, I'm thankful my kindle was fully charged as was the keyboard because my tablet definitely wasn't... Sure, I have pen and paper but that's for brainstorming! I was also in need of my favorite chai!

Hanging with my former office manager at the satel Hanging with my former office manager at the satellite location has made me realize that time marches on with or without us. Eventually we all move a little slower, our hair color fades, and our age begins to show, both inside and out.

But age is just a number and a state of mind. Our people see past the surface and love what's underneath and that's really all that matters.

Last appointment is an ECG, heart cath site check, Last appointment is an ECG, heart cath site check, and who know what else is planned? My doctors often joke they don't get to see me enough so when they have me, they want to spend as much time with me as they can. 🀣🀣 They are sooo lucky I like them!

Have I ever told you how much I hate needles? If n Have I ever told you how much I hate needles? If not, let me explain.

A childhood of being poked, held down, crying over the feeling of a needle under my skin has left me traumatized to the point of even feeling lightheaded, dizzy, and nauseous at times. 

The very idea that I have to do this to myself twice a day for the next week makes me want to vomit. I begged them to not make me do it but when I told the NP how I felt, ugh... it was dismissed. 

Wasnt there another option? Apparently not as warfarin isn't reliable (current blood thinner) or so I have been told. 

I've been told this doesn't hurt and that I won't feel a thing but I've been lied to before.

If you don't hear from me in the morning, there's a good chance I fainted and cracked my head open on the floor.
