The beginning of it all.

my life the past 3 months:  school 4 days of the week (with an INSANE amount of homework, & studying involved), and working every other weekend.  I was very welcoming of a relaxing day off at home with the kiddos. 

my life right now: no school (or schoolwork), only working when they need the help, and endless days sitting at home.  I am very welcoming right now of any task to keep me busy!

never satisfied- I know!  I should be relaxing, but unfortunately it just isn't my forte any more. so as I thought to myself of ways to keep me busy and off of my bottom (we try to avoid the use of the word butt around this household as it is now occupied by a 3 year old with an ever expanding vocabulary). I came up with a few...

1. CLEAN MY APARTMENT- duh!  why didn't I think of this idea sooner?!  well I can tell you why...because it is overrated.  I've been there, done that already.  and by already, I mean every day of my life.  moving on (sorry honey, I know you were rather supportive of that idea).

2. get in shape.  and no, in this case round does not classify as a shape.  I have my weights that are collecting dust over in the corner of the living room, and my newly purchased Wii Zumba calling my name.  okay this could work.  no excuses, right?  wrong- I can tell you a few. umm, I'm tired and I don't want to!  (in all seriousness though I have been working on this- there may be a blog post about my amazing new abs of steel in the future here).

3. create a blog!  this was the obvious answer of choice!  why hadn't I thought of this sooner?!  they looked so cute and fun, I wanted one.  however I am no english major.  heck, my writing is usually what one may classify as "boring" almost.  but hey, I wanted a blog. 

when I originally shared my brilliant idea with my fiancee he laughed.  you see- I never had any intention of sharing this with the general public.  I know I'm not a fancy writer, so why try to be.  however he pointed out the obvious that I was in denial about...a blog with no followers is just a journal or diary of some sorts, not a blog.  so here we are.  my blog.  it's nothing super creative or fancy, but it is a place for me to share my memories, thoughts, projects, and ideas!  so if you choose to share in these posts with me, thank you & I hope you enjoy!
