What this blog is about

I have been trying to figure out why and how and when of this blog. I cannot do anything half way really. I started this whole thing because I am a giveaway addict. I do not try to supplement my income so much, just that we cannot afford for me to buy the things that I could win. So, I was thinking about what I would make this blog's central theme to be. If I were to write about my life in general it would be a crazy mess. I did not want to write about being a home schooling Mom. That is pretty much out there all over the place. I would write about my artistic endeavors, but I am not much of a rule follower. I would have a hard time trying to help people create something I may create. I racked my brain and came up with something I think is a good idea. I will write about my marriage. It's ups and downs with the trials of our lives co mingling. I think it may be helpfull to others to see that you can go through so so many hard times and still come out strong and in love with your husband. So, hopefully on the next post I will have something more enlightening to impart.

Well everyone else is doing it

How interested is anyone going to be in what is going on in my crazy little hemisphere? This whole blogging thing is somewhat bizarre to me. I can also see why I would do it. Just to get some thoughts out. As a stay at home Mom of three I don't get a whole lot of me time. My typical day consists of the following, in no certain order. Trying to make a homemade meal that is healthy, delicious and everyone in the house will eat. Not an easy feat I might add. Making sure my toddlers do not figure out how to climb over the baby gate, or get stuck in, poke by or fall of off various things. Making myself get off my butt so I don't make it any wider than it already is. Finish project of the week, whether it consists of a new knitted dishtowel, a homemade apron or rearranging the furniture again. Get my kids to do their homeschooling work, while arguing that homeschooling does not actually mean you don't have to go to school. To say my life is busy would be saying little. It is rewarding, but also a very solitary life. You don't get thanked for busting it all day long, no phone calls from people that have way more time on their hands, your lucky if you get to read that wonderful trashy novel you got at the library. So, we will see if I can fit in time to just ramble on here. Welcome to my world.
