That awkward first post...

So let's just get this first post out of the way...

I have all these ideas about things I want to write about and talk about, but it seems too abrupt to have the first post be something long and serious!  I heard someone once say that if you acknowledge that what you're doing is awkward, it makes the situation a little less uncomfortable... So that's what I'm doing!

Starting a new blog at the beginning of a new year seems like a fresh slate... a blank notebook that I can fill up throughout the year!  Anybody else LOVE a nice fresh, untouched notebook?  It's so pristine and NEW.  Just calling out for someone to come fill it up with ideas and lists.  Ahhh, lists... my happy place.

I think I just need somewhere to express all the thoughts that my head thinks.  My kids don't want to listen.  My husband works a lot.  I'm at a phase of life where I don't have many friends to talk to.  But I have so much to say!  And I would like to document the days with my kids -- some days are great and some days are awful, but they are all worth remembering.

Thanks for listening!


Your friend,
