So... here I am. It is 11:59 p.m. as I begin, and I am doing what I have dreamed of doing now for months! I tell people all the time that I am addicted to blogs. I don't understand at all how so many moms of many children struggling through difficult situations are able to find time to blog about their lives. I applaud all of you mothers for being so faithful to readers like myself. I am a stay-at-home mother of ONE child and have no clue how I am going to faithfully blog about our life. I don't know how but... somehow, I ALWAYS have something going on!
Like I mentioned a minute ago, I am a faithful blog reader! I can sit at my computer for hours at a time (only when Emilie is sleeping, of course) and read and cry and read and cry over so many different blogs. When I tell you my favorites list is nothing but different blogs that I enjoy to read, I mean it! The blog that has really captured my interest, is written by a mother of four girls named Angie Smith. Angie has really inspired me to embark upon this adventure that I am so strikingly interested in. I am going to take one of her ideas and as I blog everything that I type is exactly as it comes to mind. Or should I say I am not going to be hitting backspace every other sentence. I will try to correct small errors, but I am going to try and be as real as I can as I type about our lives.
On a different note, I sure hope to allow you to be a part of our day-to-day life. I really hope that this blog will allow my little sister (who leaves for Texas Tech in approximately 24 hours) to keep up with her growing little niecy (as she will be many moons away it seems.) *tear* My personal goal is to blog at least 3 times a week. WOW! That doesn't seem like much as I sit here and think again of the faithful mothers of 3+ kiddos blogging daily.
I just got off the phone with the greatest little sister in the whole world! I am pretty much typing in puddles of tears. I think reality just HIT! My sister is leaving, she is going away. No longer will she be just a short 17 minutes away, but now a full 6 hours! She cannot just run to my house when the parents are being mean. We can't just up and leave the house for 2 a.m. walmart runs. We cannot wake up any given saturday morning and have moms homemade chocolate chip waffles for breakfast. We cannot do any of these until she comes back home! I will miss her with all of my heart. But at the same time Katie, I am so very proud of you for being so strong willed and stepping out into a world of the unknown. Follow your heart... I love you!
I believe my pillow is calling my name.
Farewell my friends and family.
