Must I really start blogging?

As if having a myspace page wasn't completely enough... I always knew something was missing from my crazy life. Yes, I've been here before and always wondered how those other moms could blog and keep their lives in order. I've written just a couple of blogs on myspace, but I tend to get writers' block because I've always felt that my blogs must be completely smart and thoughtful for all the readers to my page... but HERE, it's just not the case. I can blog and if I don't make sense, then that's OK, the blogging world will accept each and every thought I have.

It's those friends in your lives that push you to do more, inspire you to dig deep for your feelings and whoa, here I am. Thanks Laurie for always finding something new for me to become consumed with and telling me that you think my writings would be eloquent... that's a funny thought, but thanks for thinking it. I must realize that my blogs will never compare to the readings of peapodpink and world tour of ross king, but oh well--- practice makes perfect.
I've dug deep and realized that this could be where I might be inspired to publish my first book, or write my first songs. Faraway dreams for me while I'm raising 3 kids, ages, 7, 4, and 19 months. Girl, boy, girl. They are my joy and although I love to take pictures of them, maybe I'll start writing more just for them-- why not a scrapbook of all of mommy's silly blogs? I recently enjoyed my friend Rebecca's grandmother's blog where she writes letters to her grandson daily. What a novel idea to create a list of love notes, poems, and thoughts for her precious grandson. Hmmmm- if a grandma can blog and have such meaning, then why not I?

The husband is in Atlanta this evening, and has no idea what new toy I've picked up to start playing with... he won't be impressed as I can hear it now... "you've started, WHAT?!" Well, I'll just assure him that my new toy won't interfere with laundry, kids, or cleaning the house. As if room mom and Girl Scout leader, concert series coordinator, and businesswoman wasn't enough for me along with loyalty to checking my Myspace page everyday, going to the gym, scrapbooking, and chatting with girlfriends on my cell phone throughout the day. Then doing a full days work of caring for my precious angels that are asking me for snacks and wanting me to read books, play and take them to McDonald's! I'm a multi-tasker and I would like to think I do it all well, but we'll see how the blogging really goes.

To my dear friend Laurie--- as if Myspace wasn't enough, and to my friend Erika--- I will never be able to compete with the pictures of CVS ExtraCare savings, and to my friend Ross--- oh my, you certainly should be writing books with the depth of your pages! Where will my blogging really fit in with the blogs of these amazing people? Oh well, I'll be visiting your pages more and maybe I'll just have something to say that you all will remember!

This mom is tired... I must save up some energy for tomorrow's blog. It's like starting a new job--- gotta get to bed early for my first big day!

Peace and love,
Cheri
