The First Post

Well Months ago I thought about Blogging, but as many of you know I am a very private person as is Sam so the thought of putting my thoughts out there as food for the world is a bit un-nerving. But we only live once, and we should all try new things even if they scare us, and I am an open book to my friends anyway:) My friend Rachael has a blog and it is fun to click in and see how she is so I have to mention that she inspired me in some way to start blogging. To my other friends Chad and Pauline who would like to see me enter this centuries technology...this is the first baby step you both also inspired me....and yes I will get a cell phone.....when we move. And Liz is is always encouraging me to look for other ways to my dream  no matter how odd they seem at the time. To Jenny who encourages me to journal the process of becoming me your inspiration is hopefully put to good use also.   So off we go on a new adventure. I sit and write and believe me I could write a novel I love to write but the question looming in my head today as I embark on this blog will anyone want to read this blog? Who wants to share my wild thoughts and ideas? will this just cement in everyone's mind that I am truely insane?  Or the optimistic side of me says maybe this is the begining of an unusual path to my writing books. I'm still not sure I am ready to share pictures, names especially of the kids ! we'll see I have been down the last 2 days which is odd for me the eternal optimist, but then my friend went home, and Sam is still gone and my eldest is still challenging my sanity and the youngest is keeping me awake.....so perhaps that is it.  Oldest had a good orthodontist visit, I cleaned the pig's cage George Washington our resident guinea pig Named by my No.2 son ...and if I say so myself is the cutest pig ever feed the other kids zoo lunch started a blog and scrapbooked 2 pages cleaned 2 rooms all before Noon hahahahahah well hopefully this blog will become more interesting as time goes on love to you all and stay tuned for better posts :) and the link included with this post feature's some of Sam's recent pictures from Iraq on other
