Is it Spring Yet?

Boy, do I have Spring Fever! It was almost 70 here yesterday. Just that small taste of beautiful weather was enough for me to be ready for Spring. The weather here in Kansas is ever changing, just ask any Kansan. By this time tomorrow, we will be lucky to reach 35 and we are expecting snow this weekend. So, once again, I have Spring Fever and I am ready to see the end of winter!

What Have I Gotten Myself Into?

Have I mentioned that I am going to Disney World over Spring Break? I didn't think so. I am going to Disney World with 2 of my children and 14 extended family members. We have been planning this trip for months. When we made the reservations, I promised myself that I would start exercising, at least walking, and lose weight. Well, we leave in 3 weeks and that just hasn't happened. So, I will be huffing and puffing my way through all of the Kingdoms and wishing that I had kept that promise. I was worried about my mother in law not being to keep up, I think I should have been worrying about myself! What have I gotten myself into?

The Eyes Have It

Today was spent doing school with the kids and then an eye doctor appointment this afternoon for our daughter. Our 8 year old daughter has been seeing the same eye doctor since she was 3 weeks old. She has had 5 eye surgeries. And just hearing the words "You have an appointment with Dr. B" is enough to send her to a major fit. I truly believe that she remembers having her first surgery at one month of age. This petite little princess can squeeze her eyes so tight that nothing can pry them open. But, today, she was an angel. She did everything that Dr. B asked her to do. It was a great appointment. She could still need another surgery when she is older, but for now she is good to go.

This is All New to Me

So, I decided try my hand at blogging. This is all new to me. I'm just jumping right in and hoping to find my way. The first question I need to answer is "Why am I doing this?" I'm not sure. I think it will be a form of therapy. I envision myself sharing or ranting or whatever else from this blog. The second question I need to answer is "Will anyone read this?" Probably not. I don't expect anyone to read what I write, except me. I just thought I would try writing what is going on in my life in an effort to reflect on and maybe improve my life. Or maybe that is just a bunch of bull and I am jumping on the bandwagon.

A little about me - I am a 40 something mother of 4. I have a wonderful husband who forgives pretty much everything, who takes care of me and our children, and who I couldn't live without. I have a son in college, one in high school, one in middle school and a daughter in elementary school. We are all over the place! I have homeschooled our kids for 10 years. I knit, cross stitch and do other needle work. I am a Christian in search of a deeper relationship with my Savior and a church to be involved in. I struggle and fail each day to be the person that Christ wants me to be. That is part of what I want from this blog, to chart my journey as I try to draw closer to Him. And, if anyone wants to read along, you are more than welcome to journey with me.

I guess that is enough for my first post. I doubt that I will be very witty or interesting, but I'll be honest.
