I have always felt, as a writer, that beginning is the most difficult thing to do. Sometimes, you stare at the page (or the screen if that's the case), just waiting for the words to start flowing. So you wait, and wait, and wait...you walk away, take a break, get a snack...until finally, it comes. After that, it's usually a piece of cake, the words come freely...like butter.
That's how it was with this blog. I started it awhile ago....designed the page, etc., but didn't know what I could write that would be of value to anyone. And then, I came to the realization, that it is really for me. If I happen to say something witty, or share some bit of information that is useful in some way...terrific! But when it comes right down to it, I am blogging to get some focus in my own life.
Having my fourth child really threw me for a loop. I fully intended to go back to teaching full time, Lord knows we need the money. But you know what? It wasn't meant to be. I was meant to have another precious little person in our life, one who is so full of smiles and brings us such joy that I am tearing up at the mere thought of him.
There is so much to be done...I have so much to learn as I try to run a household of six. I need to be more organized, be on a schedule, learn how to save more and spend less, etc., etc. So as I embark on this journey of figuring all of this fun stuff out, I invite you to follow me...I'll share some inspiration, some tips, some recipes. Maybe we can figure it out together.
I will remind myself along the way what my second "prince" told his fellow classmates..."My mom is a pop star!" I thought is was hilarious at the time, but if that is how I am perceived, then I sure have a lot to live up to! And so it begins...
