Starting It Off

I am starting it off, blogging. Why...there are several reasons. First of all, I have come to realize that I have a horrible memory. I am afraid that these years are going to pass by and my memories are going to be spotty at best. I realized this at dinner a few nights ago. I got together with a bunch of girlfriends from high school. We were recalling and retelling stories from the "good old days" and I found myself, multiple times, saying "I don't remember that".

Second, my girls (and my husband)are funny. They are constantly doing things that make me laugh. When I retell the stories, many are laughing as well. But, again back to my memory...I have to remember to tell them. My mom has always said that I need to write these stories down. Not only can I share these stories with friends and family via blog but my girls can read them eventually too.

Finally, I am not so good at keeping in touch. I used to love to talk on the phone. And I still love to talk. It is just the time and opportunities that are few and far between. I am sure all moms (and dads) have experienced that talking on the phone with two little ones is like a magnet for questions. As soon as I pick up the phone...questions like "Can I climb to the top of the bookshelf?", "May I play that super loud game that you always say no to?", and of course "I have poo poo!". Needless to say, it makes carrying on a phone conversation difficult if not impossible.

So here I go. I'm blogging. Hopefully, I can help my memory, make some people laugh, and give everyone a little insight into what is going on in our life. That's pretty much it...pure and simple. Hope it is enjoyable for all of us.
