Today and yesterday have been another of my favorite days on tv. The Harry Potter movies have been airing on a channel called Freeform. It was only about three weekends ago that they aired them over the weekend, so to have them on again so soon was a surprise.
I didn't get into reading the books or even watching the movies until late in the series, and then it started with my son, he was falling behind in reading and he mentioned wanting to read the Harry Potter series, and this was probably only about seven years ago. So I checked out the first book of the series and I started reading it aloud to my son every night before bed. This lead to reading the whole series together aloud.
A couple years later my daughters were old enough to want to hear the books and so I started the series over and read it aloud to the girls every night before bed. Of course, over the time that it took me to read the series aloud to the kids every night, we ended up watching the movies up to that point on tv. Well, once I saw the movies, I was like, wait....there was this and that, and this that occurred in the book that was completely cut from the movie, so I had to go back and read the books again another time for myself.
Since then, I love watching the movies, but they always spark a desire in me to read the books again once I have seen the movies because I know there is so much that had to be cut from the books to make the movies short enough to air. I love going back and reading the books and getting the small nuisances and undercurrents that are going on in the book that you miss completely in the movie.
My only complaint about the movies on tv, especially this Freeform channel that tends to reair them repeatedly is that they skip Order of the Phoenix all the time. It drives me crazy, that is probably my favorite book, and they skip it! Ugh!
Well, not that the Deathly Hallows part II is almost over it looks like I need to head to the library again and get the books and reread the series! Sound like the perfect weekend!

Missing in action, again....
I haven't thought much about blogging in a long while, not really sure why, just not been in the best of mindsets. I have been making a lot of new things, but just never in the mood to write about them, which is usually strange, because I love to write, but I think it just has to do with my general feelings of depression and sadness overall with life.
It's hard being a single mom, and the dating scene absolutely sucks around here, especially because I live in a college town, so the bars, if I was inclined to go there are full of young college guys, and that is definitely not what I am looking for. Then because I don't fit the model stereotype, most guys on the dating websites and apps won't even give me the time of day let alone a chance. It is a real pain in the butt.
The thing is I need to let it all go and just focus on work and my kids and not let it get me down.
So - I'm going to start writing again, blogging more and updating my new ideas and things on the ETSY website on the business blog, and also working on some other of my blogs to get through these feeling and into a better state of mind. At least I know what I need to do and what helps me.
This blog, TAMMommy Blogs to Blog, has always been my outlet to write. I write my thoughts, my feelings, and even my writing practice and starts to stories and such. Writing has always been my therapy and it works better for me than anything else, medicine or counseling, writing is what gets me through and brightens my mood. I know that and so why I have stopped writing is beyond me, I should know better. I should be smarter than this.
Welcome back to the Ramblings of my Mind!!

Welcome back.....
First off - I apologize for my two year disappearance. It was not intentional, but it happened, and there were good reasons behind it. I will fully explain soon.
I have missed my journal blogging, and I know that it is important to me and my mental health, and now that things are at a place where I can once more engage in this activity, I will be again soon.
Thank you for understanding.

Can blogging cure insomnia?
I can't sleep. It's nothing new, it happens all the time, and it is probably hormone related, at least that is what the doctors all say. I just can't fall asleep some nights.
Any chance that blogging might help with that? I don't know, but I know that sitting here and writing always makes me feel better. So even if it doesn't help me to sleep, at least it will get me to a somewhat happy place.
I now have a total of four blogs. This one for my general ramblings that have no purpose other than to be an outlet for myself. The others each have a specific purpose and reason for being and are special for that reason.
There is the book blog. Tammommy Blogs on Books.
This is where I write book reviews of the books that I am reading. I love to read, and love to write, so this has been a long standing blog that ties both my loves together. I also have a number of Google plus communities that I joined to promote the book blog. I would really like it to be seen and to get some feedback on it. It has been seen by a couple of the author's of the books in the last few posts, which is really exciting. I always enjoying hearing from an author when I review their book. So things are going well there, just hoping to keep that going and grow it even more.
There is the new music blog. Tammommy Blogs on Music.
This is where I post a country music video and blog a commentary about the song. It is not really a review of the song, but more of what the song makes me think of and what it means to me, sort of. I am enjoying writing it because I love music and I find that music is a huge part of life. It evokes emotions in all of us everyday, sometimes we are better at realizing it than at other times. Right now I am only posting once a week on this blog. I have two google plus communities that I promote this blog on. I also promote it on my twitter account.
The third blog is a business blog. Tammommy Blogs on Business.
This is where I post business related blog posts. I have my store at CafePress that turns my original artwork into items and I promote that store on this blog. I am also a JewelScent rep and promote that business on the blog. Then there is my Etsy store and I promote it as well on the business blog. As a stay at home mom, I have to do something to help pay for dance and show choir, so this business blog is what I do to try to make that happen.
Right now I just wonder what else I can do to get more traffic, and not just traffic, but people who will actually want to read the posts and be interested in them, to my blogs. How can I make them more popular and get them seen by the right people? I am not sure but that is what I am really trying to figure out, because I need to be doing what I can to help the family.
Of course, those are the things that go through your mind at 4am when you can't sleep! Guess I might just go ahead and read another book!
