My gorgeous, sexy and wonderful husband downloaded some writing software for me. I have always wanted to write a novel and have many ideas that are spread throughout 20 some notebooks (my favorite being the epic battle between F.A.G. and G.O.O.D.). My husband therefore figured I would love to have a central area in which to collect my ideas and not have to worry about artistic Kara using them as her canvas.
I have sat down 4 times to try and put all my notes into the program but every time I try, one of my cute kids destroys something or maims a sister. Well I am stating here for the world to see: I will finish a book in the next 2 years or at least one of my girls will end up in boarding school until I can finish the book.

Blogging is hard
I have tried blogging in the past and i quickly become overwhelmed trying to maintain regularity in how often I post. Makes sense though... Everyone in our lovely house has to eat activia to maintain any sort of "regularity" in our lives. I also find that amusing and entertaining thing don't happen regularly. And I have never been the type to say, "Nothing entertaining has happened today, maybe I should do something crafty and write a post on my creative genius." So on those days of monotony I will share my opinion of others' creative genius and write book or movie reviews or something.
The crux of this post is that my life is boring and if that was all i wrote about I wouldn't have many repeat readers.... other than my mom.

Welcome to insanity!!!!!
While watching TV, folding laundry, nursing Eva and helping my daughter Kara finish her homework before kindergarten, a story was aired on blogging. I felt inspired to let my voice be heard, so three weeks later here I am starting this blog.
Most of the blogs covered seem to be perfect mothers giving advice and anecdotes about perfectly baking cookies for the bake sale whilst, and at the same time, cleaning their 6000sq.ft. home, creatively scrap booking their entire extended families photos and picking up their honor roll children from private schools without letting those children feel overly privileged or spoiled. Let me tell you i will have no stories like those, in fact if the impossible happened and i was able to afford/buy a 6000 sq. ft. house my advice and anecdotes would be about the maid grumbling over me making huge messes as I tried to make cookies for a bake sale, and managing to burn the pre-made frozen dough stashed for the last 2 years in the back of my not very clean freezer. In fact now that I remember the existence of the dough i should probably find an ice pick(jackhammer) to free it from the layer of frost in the dark nether regions of my freezer.
Back to the topic on hand.... what this blog is supposed to be about. I am going to steal the Seinfeld idea. This blog is about nothing so therefore I can write about everything. If I give advice or recipes or share an amazing experience I hope you take from it truth that no matter how hectic and far from perfect my life may be, it brings me joy and I hope you will get a smile or two as well.
By the way, I am trying to sell my husbands old strength shoes.... any takers?
