What Is This Blog All About?

I have wanted to write for along time ... years ... maybe decades. This is really odd for someone who hated creative writing in school. When a teacher would start talking about using your "imagination" to write about something, my mind would just shut down. But I've always wanted to write. I create funny stories in my head when I go to sleep at night (well ... funny to me) that cause me to laugh in my sleep. This drives my husband crazy ... long ago he would wake me up to ask me what I was laughing about ... now he knows I'm crazy and that I think the weirdest things are funny and he doesn't bother to ask most of the time these days.

When I started to read blogs created by other mom's, back in December 2008, I thought this would be a great way to document things for my kids.

Now ... I'm not so sure.

After months of reading blogs, figuring out the ones I wanted to continue reading and the ones that weren't worth my time, I started this blog in June 2009.

But, in thinking about content for this blog, I've discovered something about myself ... I'm not a helicopter parent. My kids will honestly probably never read this and I really don't have a need to document every moment of their lives.

So, I've decided that this blog will be about my life. My interests. It will have a lot of mom things because my life is mostly about kids these days ... but it will also include politics (gird yourselves), infertility, many grammar and punctuation errors, and any random topics.
