Self-Censoring...

Yes, it sucks, having to censor myself from posting everything I want on B's blog. Or rather, on this very-repressed mom-blog for B. Only, I want to protect his privacy, his safety, his security and to keep his young life out of the bloglight, but I do want to share about his daily triumphs and challenges, to support and encourage other parents of ASD kids out there. Been careful, too, not to let this mom-blog become too much of a mom-blog. I get irritated with myself when I catch my nanay persona "blagging" (a word I've coined for bragging on a blog) and I end up just deleting an entry instead of publishing it. Perfectly normal for a mom to want to brag about their kids, but I have always been a non-conformist. Even in the area of being a mother, I do not want to conform. I do not want to be like other moms! I do not want to show my sons off! I do not want to parade them about and tell the world how wonderful they are, even if it's true! Hahaha, this is just a semi-serious rant, just in case you're wondering.
But seriously, I know how exquisitely annoying mom-blogs can be because I've sadly been both an annoyer and an annoyee myself, and I've quietly told myself to be less of an annoyer in future, to lessen all the existing annoyance in the world.
Well, let's see if I can stop self-censoring enough to get blogging about B and E again.
