So I was reading my friend's blog and I decided I want to start one. Why shouldn't my thoughts float around the universe? I read several blogs on a regular basis and why are my thoughts any less substantial. Plus, isn't just a form of journaling?
So, here I begin. I plan on making a major life change soon and I've made some decisions before those changes are made. I'm going to start a family of my own. I'm fortunate enough to be blended into a great family as I have two step-daughters and my wonderful husband. But in less than a year I plan on having children of my own. I'm been watching a lot of people during my wait and raising children is a major undertaking. I've been pondering whether or not I'm ready for it. So, I've decided that I have to make some changes and do some things well. I've set some goals and it's basically to be the best I can be at what I'm doing right now: seminary teacher, school teacher, wife, step-mom, visiting teacher/friend, tri-athlete. I hope this blog will chart my progress by allowing me to vent my frustrations, rejoice in my triumphs, and garner some support and cheering along the way.
I want to fill this blog with musings (thank you Peggy Hill), observations, revelations, and experiences. Please comment and contribute. Having an audience may help direct my thoughts and actions.
Lk, I've known you for a looooong time and if I was ready (I wasn't) for a baby, you surely are. :-)

I'm so proud of you, I can hardly spell write...erk, right. :) On behalf of all musing-ers (is that a word?) in the universe, we WELCOME you with hugely wide open arms and say, "It's about time!!!!"
ReplyDeleteps. You are ready, my friend. And you'll be amazing.
No one is ever REALLY ready. But you will be great! It is kind of a learn as you go thing.

Striving to be the best at whatever you are 'being' at the moment is always a good goal! But I can attest that there is simply nothing you can do to be 'ready' for having a baby. It turns your world around in amazing and wonderful ways that are impossible to conceptualize from the 'before' side of it... you just jump in with both feet and yell "YIPPEE" at the top of your lungs, and then cross your fingers and pray like mad that you don't screw it up too badly! :) I can't wait - I am soo sooooo SSOOOOOO excited for you to begin this adventure! You will be amazing as a mommy. :):) :) I need a bigger smiley face symbol!
