This is my first blog. Actually, it's not even starting out as a blog. I'm writing it as an email to my husband who can then figure out how to get it onto a blog. I'm sure my 17 year-old half-sister could also do it for me. I'm stuck in that technological gray-area of a 35 year old who got out of corporate America 6 years ago, and so I feel lost if I'm doing much more on my computer than checking email, shopping online, or downloading pictures to Snapfish. I can put together a great spreadsheet in Excel, but I don't think that will help much right now.
Even if I do get this onto the web, why would anyone read it? I guess that it's the kind of thing that I might read because it would reassure me that most of my life is normal. Sometimes it just helps to see that other people are going through the same chaos as you, and, occasionally you find some great little tips that make life a little easier. Things like pulling up the corners of juice boxes to hold them by so you don't squeeze them and make a mess. This is really helpful for the Horizon chocolate & vanilla milk boxes that I buy Charlotte (age 4) and Mary Jane (age 2) every time we go to Starbucks which is almost every day. Mason (age 6) usually gets juice. Yes, I'm that person. 3 small kids, in and out of Starbucks, trying to find a sale at Pottery Barn Kids, organizing play dates and trips to the zoo, juggling the activities of my kids, etc. Sound familiar? I live the life of many, many, moms I know, and I wouldn't trade one bit of it!
