12-07-04 First Time Out
Hello world. Well, my old friend Anne Hefley, unknowingly, has inspired me to learn about blogging. What a wonderful new world this is. Actually, her blog inspired me to share this idea with my friend Mernie, who is a dedicated journal writer. I suggested to Mernie today that she should take up blogging. I promised to send her links on how to do this and was so intrigued that I started it myself. Get ready world......I sometimes have much to say on a wide variety of topics. For starters, you should know I am a mom. Some call me a "Supermom" because I have four children (ALL BOYS) and I have to drive them around to three different schools everyday and spend countless hours being their taxi driver to numerous athletic practices and games, birthday parties, playdates, etc. I spend at minimum three hours a day driving on behalf of my children. Some of you may puke at the thought. I may scare you into abstinence by the time you're through reading my entries. Ever heard of "Scared Straight"? Look it up. Your visits here may be likened to at-risk kids being taken on a field trip to a federal prison to "scare them straight". Give them an insider's view of the horrors that dwell inside. That's what reading this will be like on some days, although this is not my intent. Don't get it twisted....I love my children, I'm a dedicated mother, I would never send them "back" if I had the chance.......But when you get to know me better, and learn of my struggles, you will understand. And know this: my struggles are not so different from many women across the country who have "retired" from their careers and now make raising their children their primary purpose in life.
Signing off, as we are 8 minutes overdue to a birthday celebration for my son's best friend Mel.
