Blogging Day 1....what in the hell am I doing????

So this is the beginning of a new adventure for me...blogging...oh dear what in the heck have I gotten myself into! I have spent a lot of time reading some of my good friends blogs and find myself laughing out loud and thinking "why am I not doing this for my family...what a great keepsake!" ....flash forward...reason number one- I am crazy busy! I teach full time, have 2 children that are involved in more than one activity, a husband who can work crazy hours with his sales job and I never seem to know when he will be home...did I mention I teach full time? Not just this 8-4 type of hours either...I am there as early as I can be (usually by 7:30 after I have dropped off 1 child to daycare and the other to Middle School....I teach an after school group on Tuesday and Thursdays that ends at 5:15 but usually I am out of there by 5:30 on a good day. I also have a home that at some point in my schedule needs to be taken care of....thank god we have no pets (much to my children's dismay!). Oh then there is cooking, dishes, laundry, correcting papers, answering emails that didn't get taken care of during the school day, having a conversation with my husband in passing to do any of the prior items and well some where in there I try to find time for myself...so here I sit at my computer at 10:14 pm...knowing full well I SHOULD be sleeping for 5 am comes VERY quickly and the treadmill is not the most forgiving thing if you are not fully awake when you step on! So I am going to try this blogging thing....not sure how long it will last....who knows - maybe this will become some what of a sanity keeper for me...after all - my children are asleep in their own beds- my husband is asleep on the coach ~ my home is quiet (minus the frickin' wind gusts outside). So lets give this thing a try......If nothing else it will be a good place for me to write down what I am thankful for each day, what struggles I may have faced- if I over came them or not, things I am looking forward to, and a way for my family and friends all around the world to be able to take a peek into our lives when we can't see them as often as we would like! Here goes nothing! (check back in a day or two....we'll see how it is going!)
