The Little Things

I've decided to give this whole blog thing another try.  After reading the first 2 years of She Likes Purple, I was inspired.  I really want to keep a record of this little crazy life I have.  It is filled with many little things that make me smile and make me cuss.  I am a dork, I drive too fast, I am way too messy, and often feel that I am not the best mother I could be.  I think the whole guilt thing, for most mothers, is something you take on as soon as you find out you're pregnant.  Some people might think I'm a bad mother because I don't bring cookies to daycare for my childeren's birthdays or because I take them to each and every parent's night out (I need all the help I can get- I'm a single mom) I belive that I am a good mom because they are still alive (if you know my kids you understand that is an accomplishment in itself) and I treat them like real people. Right now I a mother, daughter, sister, friend, and wanna-be runner among many other things I try to be (including healthy eater).  In a little over a month I will add student to the already too long list of what I am trying to fit into my life.  I am ok that homework will replace time I have been spending with my dvr, hopefully it won't be competely neglected.  I will not use it as an excuse not to exercise.  Even though I am currently losing the battle with my body of what it wants to consume vs. what, in my head, I know I should be eating... I will not stop running.  I have these grand visions of posting everyday and throngs of people following my blog, when in reality these are probably just grand delusions.  My only followers will probably just be my best friend and my mom, and maybe Jennie just because she might feel sorry for me and I took the time to link her twice in my first post.  The reality is that I don't care what this site turns into as long as I have something to look back on.
