Testing... Is this thing on?

Greetings-

I have decided (under just a bit of duress from my bestie) to start a blog.  She thinks it is a good idea to just start speaking my mind.  This might turn out bad, or good, or start a small war in a alternate universe but I will give it a whirl.

Hmm I guess I should state I am a single mom of an AMAZING kiddo that is causing my hair to go gray quite a bit faster than I anticipated.  He is on the autism spectrum and every day is a new challenge and victory.

I probably have more baggage than Skycap and more issues than a magazine subscription but I feel that it is better to laugh than scream and so I deal with the world with sarcasm and jokes.  I weigh more than I should but I don't sit on the couch eating all day.  I am lonely and some days I feel very low.  Some days I am way optimistic that I will find what I am looking for.  I guess I am just looking for a corner of the 'verse to speak my truth and be transparent.  I will not be one of those people who paint this amazing cyber picture of myself, my family or my journey.  I laugh, I cry, I can be petty and I can surprise myself.  But this is going to be me.  I hope to be able to work through things and I hope you enjoy my journey.
