I am horrible at journaling. Which is why I am doing this blog. But I am finding that if it is not an event or if I don't have pictures to accompany the post, then it isn't worth posting about. How sad for me. Because the most important things really are the little everyday idiosyncrasies that happen during our mundane little existence. Soooo... my new years resolution is to really do what I set out to do and capture the extraordinary in the ordinary everyday.
At this point I need to give a shout out to Allyson because she is my inspiration for this. She has one of my MOST favorite blogs, and it isn't because she has a cute background---someone needs to help her to find a new background! It isn't that she lists me as one of the coolest people on the web, or that she conceded that my child might indeed be cuter than her child, but because she just writes about all the little everyday things and finds humor in the things that would normally cause me to curse or raise my voice to my children. I quote, "Sometimes I think this blogging thing is a seriously good thing for the health of the child. 'Cause in moments like this, instead of killing the kid, you just have to take a picture." So true. So Allyson thank you for being a great mommy and blogger and the person who comments the most on my own blog. I have a lot to live up to!

We must be in the same line of thinking.....Ashlyn was driving me NUTS about pulling all the Christmas decorations off the tree.... Pulling the snow out from under the trees that after a week of pulling my hair out and saying "NO! NO!" and trying to but it back perfectly together, I got the camera out to capture the moment and laugh. I must admit the snow melted away for the rest of the month but I was able to find happiness in all the chaos!...Post will come AFTER all my birthdays in January! :o) because heaven forbid I throw Christmas in between all the birthday frenzy.... Things must have order!!......oh I have a serious problems!! :o)
Oh my Wherrrrd! I feel so special right now I can hardly take it. Imagine my shock and awe when I clicked on your link and my name popped up as a title. Thank you for the kind words, I had no idea you were such a fan o' mine. And hey, anything I can do to get you updating regularly. I always love when there is a new update from you, pictures or not. But, i totally agree, it does feel like pictures are necessary for a "good" post. hehe Anyway, happy blogging, I look forward to seeing your increased output.
Ummm Julie, dare I say it's nearly Sunday with nary a blog entry? I'm trying to be patient here, but I need some fresh reading material. Thank you ever so much.
