when life gets interesting, take notes

the speed at which things pass me by increases with age!



i am not sure at what point my life became what it is.
i was in college, enjoying life to the fullest, (which is pretty full of enjoying at indiana university!)
i was in love.
skip to 15 years later, i am a teacher, a mother of 3, the owner of a dog, a cat and 2 fish.
a housewife, a maid, a soccer mom, a coach, and i am still in love!

my life is so busy that i don't always have time to think about it. it pretty much flows by me like a river. i am starting this blog to help me organize my thoughts and put my life here so that some day my kids can look back and see how much fun we really did have and how much i love them.

i intended to be funny, but all the humor is gone for me today. i am also a struggler.
i struggle with my attitude, my mouth, depression, weight, eating disorder, my parents, my crazy grandma, and my general outlook on life. i am good at giving advice and bad at following it.

i am attempting here to put words to my confusion and disconnectedness.

Good luck...a lot of times when I try to write things out so as to better understand, all I succeed at is confusing myself even more. I hope you find it easier than I do. I will look forward to reading your posts.

suecart2: What a terrific idea! I'm sure that your children will treasure having a written record of mom's life, joys, and struggles. Blogging can be good therapy as well. Welcome to JU!
