You Think I Can Keep This Up?

I've done it. I've taken the plunge. Something that I said I would never do...here I sit, pecking away, entering this crazy world of the "BLOG"! I'm notorious for starting things like this and not always following through with them. I can't tell you the number of journals and diaries that are spread throughout my house, in drawers and cabinets, with empty pages. All because I got busy one day and didn't write in it...only for that to spiral into a vicious cycle. Maybe I'll do better with this. Some accountability...since you guys are reading it. I'm hoping this will be an outlet for me. A way to reach out to old and new friends.

The family is good. Rowdy, but good. Right now the three boys are karate-chopping each other in the living room. I'm waiting for the scream that is my signal to intervene. Until then, I'm letting them be boys. I always thought I wanted a little girl to dress in hair bows and eyelet dresses...but, I think God knew I needed to be a mom of boys. The rough and tough is what guides our days and I can't imagine being prissy if I try. Amazing that God knows what He's doing!! LOL! :)

Kirk is working hard as usual. Hardly see him, but I guess that is how it goes. I went on a business trip with him last week just to spend some time with him. We went to Colorado and had an amazing time. I was able to sleep late, watch what I wanted to on TV, eat at expensive restaurants where I couldn't pronounce the names of the food that I was putting in my mouth, and hold hands walking down the street with my husband, rather than someone under the age of 8! People asked if I missed my kids while I was there. You know, I did, but I think I'm a much better mom if I have a break from them. I certainly appreciate them more.

Ahhh...the scream. I'm being signaled to referee the karate kids! I can also hear someone hollering about being hungry. Must be time to go. What was that I just said about appreciating them?!?! :)
