I’m sure you’ve all noticed my lack of attention to MouthyGirl lately, I feel bad about it so I’m gonna level with you. A few months ago I had a huge fight with the hubs because some of the guys he works with read the blog and told him some of the things I said. It’s not the first time, when he found out that I had a facebook account the same thing happened. As these things arguments have happened here and there I’ve felt more and more like I needed to watch what I said. Like I can’t write what I want and that has made it damn near impossible for me to write anything at all.
I’ve blamed it on various things like my lack of news awareness, which isn’t really true. Realistically it’s because I feel hemmed up. I feel as if I have to watch what I say here because I have little moles waiting to report me to the “bossman”. I don’t mind fighting for my right to write (lol) but I don’t want to hurt anyone and I damn sure don’t want what I write to be taken out of context. It’s been a serious inner battle people.
I will say this, no matter what I write here, I feel that this is my personal space, away from the real life drama that unfolds before my eyes every day. When I write I like to think that people will make an effort to understand me, not read something and think they know what I’m talking about. My point is this, if you don’t know me personally, don’t try to guess where I’m coming from because you haven’t the foggiest idea.
We can all sympathize with one another, and empathize or whatever but to stir up shit in my family over something you don’t understand doesn’t make you a helpful person, it makes you part of a problem. A lot of the things I write here are said in jest, taking every word you read here seriously is a big mistake.
Ah, I feel better.

I enjoy writing every day, I get in a zone and focus once I decide what I’m writing about and enjoy that process of deciding what I’ll talk about today. What’s been the most trying thing to do in my opinion is to be careful not to step on toes. There are people in my real life that read MouthyGirl from time to time, some even daily. I relish having daily readers who also know me.
BUT….it’s a little irritating when my husband comes home and tells me the people he works with are giving him a hard time about something I have written. You see, hubby doesn’t read MouthyGirl, and that’s fine with me. I’ve always seen it as the place I can express myself. After this recent catastrophe, I considered not writing anymore, and this isn’t the first time. It pissed me off so much to be quoted out of context that I considered just quitting this time.
To those guys, and you know who you are, you nearly ended MouthyGirl for taking something I wrote and twisting it to something it wasn’t. Fortunately for the other readers of MouthyGirl I wasn’t going to let your misconception and lack of understanding of my voice stop me. I do want you to know that if you’re reading to hear about our personal lives, you might as well stop now since I can’t trust it not to be misconstrued, turned into an accusation and regurgitated to my husband, I’ll be leaving us out of it. If you like how I write and you’re genuinely interested in MouthyGirl however, great – you won’t miss it.
I did consider starting over and not telling people in my real life about a new blog, just letting it do what it’ll do on the web, but I’ve worked too hard on MouthyGirl to quit her now.
If you write a blog, have you ever had problems in real life because of something you’ve written being misunderstood?
