What's the Point?

So here it goes...I'm just another person out of ten-million hundred thousand people that have started a blog hoping to make it big (HA!). UGH! How annoying am I already? So let me start out by saying WHY I am choosing to be another of ten-million hundred thousand people to start one in these next 5 points...

1. It will serve as my personal journal. Maybe no one will ever read my blog...that's cool. I will have my thoughts, funny stories, sad times ect. all right here to go back to at any point in time.

2. Steve (my hubby) has always told me I can write...I don't know where he gets this from though. If you look back on my report cards & look at my English grades they would say otherwise.

3. It will continue to force me to think. So many times I find myself thinking (haha) "I have nothing to say" or "what is so special about my life." This will help me to think deeper & cherish the little things more. It will make me think about how I am as a person & if I like what I see or not. (I think that is reason enough to blog)

4. It will help me to keep my sanity. Okay, okay. I know. Why would stressing myself out over what my next blog post will be keep me sane? I feel like even when I started this post....umm...5 hours ago (distractions - called children make this take a whole lot longer than it should) I didn't know what I was going to say. But lookie lookie - I'm on point number 4 already & even after sitting down for 5 minutes I feel so much more calm than I did 10 minutes ago after having a battle with my 2 year old who didn't want to go to bed.

5. I want people to feel like they aren't alone. You will come here & be exposed to my life. Every part of it. Screaming kids, unorganized house & laundry coming out of my ears & never getting folded (seriously, we live out of laundry baskets most of the time). I am not going to be posting about making my own butter & only buying organic. Or how I am the perfect wife & have dinner on the table every night at 5 (Steve is lucky if he gets a home cooked meal 3 times a week.) Life if full of ups and downs, twists and turns, good times & bad times. I want to help encourage other moms like me that we don't have to keep putting up a "perfect" front. It's just not realistic. If I can help 1 person feel encouraged & like they aren't alone, this whole thing will be worth it!
