In reading some of my other friends blogs I am impressed and intimidated. They have wonderful stories to share that are written with such eloquence, that I feel inspired to start my own. But who would read these posts? Who would be interested in what I have to say? Those that know me, know that I have the gift of the gab, but do I really have anything to say?
I have decided that it doesn't matter to me who reads or doesn't read. I am going to make this for my family...more importantly for my husband, who is deployed. So he can see what we do on a daily (or maybe weekly) basis and feel like he is here not missing a thing.
This page is a work in progress..under construction. The page is like my life. Always changing, improving, sometimes becoming more complicated and sometimes getting it completely wrong. There are days when I get down on myself for not being a better wife, better mother, better housekeeper. I find myself yelling at the kids when I PROMISED myself I would stay calm today and treat them with the kindness they deserve. Yes, they deserve kindness...they were born sinners. When those days occur, and I assure you they do, I hear the negative noise in my head on how I should do things better. It is comforting for me to know that many of us, like my page, are a work in progress. Nobody is perfect, no one gets it right all the time, and we are ALL born sinners. So let me impart my few words of wisdom that I have learned (but have a hard time putting into action) give your husband a break, your kids a break and most importantly, yourself a break.
Next installment....what's in a name? What to name your blog.
Love the Blog so far. I would love to read it. My blog is not as nice as yours. There are no pictures and it is only meant for Brian and I. I use it to talk about the day and frustrations I am having with things and people. So I do not share it with anyone. I am also not a good writer. Yours is very good. Thanks for sharing with us. Love you and miss you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chana (I know it is you :)). Add some photos for him, I am sure he would love to "see" you. I thought it was a great idea about the digital picture frame. I may send one to Josh.
ReplyDeleteI have thought about making my blog only for us, not let others (family) see it. I may change my mind. But with FB having yet another security issue, I fear my days are numbered. So this can be one way to let friends and family (who aren't on FB) so see what we are up to. I was going to include this in my post but I was tired. So I finished up at 11 and still couldn't fall asleep until after 1am.
If there is anything I can do to help you through this long year, just holler. Miss you..miss just bumping into you, or driving by you in the neighborhood...until the next 10 years.
Jack, the site and your thoughts are excellent. I appreciate your every effort and know you are dedicated to our family. I am so very proud to have you as my wife. Love, me
