I Need My Space

My husband recently started working from home. Now don't get me wrong. I love all the extra time I get to see him. Even if he is locked in the office all day, since he doesn't have the hour long commute, we actually get to eat dinner together. That being said, he is in. my. space! It is seriously cutting into my computer time. See, he writes computer software for a living so he sort of has to use the computer.... I shouldn't complain, but what about my new blog and all those wonderful blogs I like to read. He does have a laptop, and we have 2 computers in the office, but apparently he needs all three. Who knew that a computer geek would need to hog all the computers in the house???? Oh well, I haven't gotten to blog lately. But I have been busy looking for a job. For those of you who don't know (and that's pretty much all 2 of you), I lost my job just before Christmas. I've never actually had to look for a job before in my life. I'm not good at trying to sell myself to prospective employers. Jobs have always sort of come and found me .... not the other way around. Anyway, there have been many tears of frustration this week as I pound the pavement, but I know that God has the perfect job out there for me. I just have to learn a little patience (something I have about zippo of).

Rain, Rain Go Away

Well, I'm already off to a slow start in this blog, but I never promised this would be an every day thing. I kept waiting for something exciting, funny, or just interesting to happen yesterday so I would have something spectacular to blog about..... Well nothing spectacular happened. It just rained all day and I had to keep Monkey Man (my 9 year old) and Little Man (my 4 year old) from killing each other. They've been out of school for 2 weeks now, it's raining and the new toys are already "boring". What's a mom to do?

Now thanks to reading lots of blogs about getting organized I'm off to Target to get some supplies and then I'm tackling the toys. Wish me luck!

Welcoming me to the 21st century

Well it seems that I've been a "lurker" at a lot of blogs and have been wondering for some time if I should perhaps start one. In fact, while out today running a few errands I was pondering and praying over the idea of my own blog (and how in the world I would go about starting such), when lo and behold I come home to realize that Shannon over at Rocks in My Dryer http://rocksinmydryer.tyepad.com/shannon/ is starting a new blog on blogging basics. Woo hoo!!! Is that an answer to prayer or what. So since everyone else has a blog (and despite the fact that my momma always warned me about joining a crowd "If everyone else jumped off the bridge, would you?") I think I'll try this blog thing out. May only get a few friends to read (or maybe nobody), but at least I can say I tried. I'm looking forward to coming out of the "lurking" stage and into the actual blogging stage. You should really check out the Blogging Basics 101 page http://bloggingbasics101.com/ .

Looking forward to getting to know some fellow bloggers!
