I feel like a sneaky little slut being here, but I’m going to give it a try. Well, I’m going to give a bunch of blog platforms a try  (thus the slutty reference), this just being one of them. Looks like I have a lot of learning to do here, but if I want to be taken seriously as a blogger, I’m going to have to get rid of my Spaces blog. Oh the pain of moving……..This is like going from driving a Pinto to a Mercedes. I don’t even know how to use half the bells and whistles. I’ll try and learn though, for the sake of my fan club out there. ;)

You’ll pardon the interuption, but I had to go scold the children. They’ve gone outside to “water the plants” which clearly means to them “water each other.” I said “Son! Put down that hose now and turn off the water!” And he quite clearly thought I said “Oh my sweet, obediant child, would you like to turn off the hose? No? Ok then, carry on.” He listens about as well as my idiot, yellow labrador retriever born with ADHD and severe psychosis causing him to have to take Prozac every day for the rest of his life. I throw in some Benedryl too for a sedative effect. So there you have it, 2 kids and 2 dogs who think “NO” is merely a suggestion.

School starts in two weeks. My last child is off to elementary school this year. Where does that leave me? It’s like the first day of the rest of my life, and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I feel like I should be very excited for my soon-to-be freedom. I feel terrified that my baby is off to kindergarten. I’ve spent the last almost 10 years at home with a baby on one arm, cooking with the other, and I don’t know who I am anymore if I’m not that person. What do I want to be when I grow up? Why is kindergarten forcing me to examine these issues? Alas, it’s causing me to lose sleep at night. So while I figure out who I am and what I want to be when I grow up, can you just follow me around blogs until I find one I like? I know, it’s a lot to ask of you, but I promise, I’ll figure it all out soon.
