The Adventures Begin!

O. K. Ilene. I am now the official owner of my own blog site and had the great fun in creating my name and profile and template and all that. Now I am faced with the awful fact that I have nothing to say. I am afraid that this blogging will not only be full of my "dumb thoughts" but will be extremely boring!

It is, however, almost my bedtime so that may account for my writer's block--it does not help with the fact that I have a hard time writing entertainingly, but I figured that any friends who choose to read this will be kind enough to keep their yawns to themselves! I will probably mostly just be recording the cute and frustrating things that my family does with maybe a glimmer of original and sparkling thought now and then. I guess I would relax about the whole thing if I just wrote for myself and didn't worry about who else will read it and what they may think of me as a result, right? So let the "adventures" begin.

I don't have much to say at this point. I did a great job of getting the house presentable by 11 am and was able to enjoy a nice long visit with a friend, but somehow between then and bedtime (actually it was more like between 5 pm and 7 pm) something happened. I think the three older kids let a tornado have free reign in our house while I dealt with a fussy baby. I sent them all off to bed with a lot of cranky words in their ears. Needless to say I am not feeling much like Amazing Mommy this evening! Thank goodness there is always a new day "with no mistakes in it--yet."

I need to go sweep up the cheerios scattered all over my kitchen floor and straighten up the kitchen at least before bed. I will be scouting around in my brain really hard for a good idea for a blog, but don't get too excited. My brain hasn't been functioning at top level for many years now!
