I laugh at the thought that I am actually starting a blog...whodda thunk? With the encouragement of family and friends, I am attempting to jump on the blogging bandwagon. Please be patient while I'm learning what this is all about!
As I have looked at a few blogs, I find that I am attracted to the ones that are real, honest and chock full of reality. I admit that I'm the type that gets embarrassed when I see pic's of myself on Christmas morning with no make-up, hair poking out...but...that is reality! Some blogs remind me of those annual Christmas letters (please don't be offended if you write an annual Christmas letter, because for the most part I do enjoy them...I actually keep every Christmas card and letter), you know the ones I mean....the ones that brag about their kids being the smartest...they play 4 musical instruments each, speak 3 foreign languages, besides being super athletes and are all at least "4 levels above grade-level"??? I admit I sometimes chuckle a little to myself as I read some of "those" letters...truthfully, what I'm actually really thinking is...man, how do they have time for all of that??? I can barely get through a day without being embarrassed that someone came to the door with my house being far less than perfect and my "TO DO list" so long that I'll never "get there." I am definitely not a "SUPER-MOM" by any means!
We do love to share about our loved ones. I have heard my Dad say many a time..."every Mother crow thinks her crows are the blackest!" I guess that's the beauty of having loved ones in our lives....because whether or not you chuckle to yourself as I brag a little about my family (because I do think my family is pretty awesome)...it really is quite wonderful to have people in our lives who just quite frankly give a darn! So...thanks for sharing part of your lives with me....and thanks for caring about what's going on in mine!
