Joining the multitudes

O.K. I broke down. I finally did it. I created a blog. I admit that I cheated and used blog spot. I just don't have the time or energy to be creative or learn about those blog creating type of things that I don't already know. My perfectionism was probably the biggest obstacle that has kept me from creating my own personal blog. It definitely wasn't that I have nothing to say. If you know me at all then you know that I am almost addicted to words, both the orrative and the written kind. I love books. I love the Internet. I love to read and I love to write. I certainally love to think, sometime too much and too hard about mundane, unnecessary things. That gets me in trouble though, esp. when I'm thinking about something OTHER than what I'm doing.
In light of those facts, blogging seems like natural outlet for me. I can get my thoughts out there, and it doesn't really matter if anyone reads them, just so that I get to SAY them. To be quite honest though, I have never really gotten into the idea of blogging. Oh, yes, I read my friends' blogs and my family's blogs, well, my brother Greg's (which can get quite interesting!) but I haven't taken to the idea of blogging. Whenever I randomly search and read blogs not referred to me, I almost inevitably get hung up on something I have read. So I don't really read blogs much, and doesn't it seem impolite to write a blog and not be a blog reader? Perhaps it is, but I guess I'll have to be impolite now! Or at least in so much as I won't be reading random blogs, but if you want to refer some to me.... GREAT! Actually, you may decided that you don't want to read MY blog once I get going. I'm sure that for most people the life and times of a stay at home/homeschooling mom will be mundane! But maybe, just maybe, I'll have a few thoughts you agree with now and again. Perhaps some you will want to discuss sometimes. Maybe together we can "drink deeply" of the good stuff of life occasionally. I only ask that you keep my grammatical errors to yourself and whatever you do, DON'T tell my kids how bad it is, they think I know what I'm talking about when we study sentence structure, so SHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Well this is cute. I'm sure you have plenty to say as do I. I have never posted anything on a blog page before so god help us all. Missy is the most caring wondful mom I know. Let me tell you something about her. You know the kind of friend who if you're happy and cry she cries right alone with you and really is happy for you. If you cry because you're sad she cries alone with you and shares your burdens you know the kind of person who helps you carry them well that's just a small piece of who she is. Much Love Kim
