I Did It!

Holy Crap! I created a blog. I think. Will it ever fly through the air and reach out to others? Who knows. Who cares. Well I do, but for now, I'm just happy I'm typing and not still hunched over my desk trying to figure out where to start a blog.

I'm scared. Buyer's remorse is setting in. I'll get over it I know. I deal with buyers remorse in my business. My husband and I are REALTORS®. There is no bigger Buyer's Remorse than the 24 hours after signing a contract to purchase a property. Trust me, it's what we do. We even get buyer's remorse when we buy a property. It's normal, it's healthy, everyone feels it. Get over it!

Ok, my first post. Here is a bit about me. I'm 37. Mother of one - a son age 8 3/4. (He will be 9 on 10/24). Step-mother to two - ages 20 & 14. Adopted mother to one - a schnoodle - age 3. Wife to one (currently - previous short lived marriage from ages 23-25; what was I thinking!). Daughter to two, sister to three, friend to many (I hope).

This year I am going to start homeschool my son. I'm very excited about our decision to embark on this journey, and feel it will be like coming home. (Hence the term home-schooling, I guess.) Anyway....school started in our town today, but we didn't. Tad scary. Deep breath, deep breath. Ok. Just a little nervous I am going to totally screw him up. I don't think I will, but still you never know.

I work from home. I now teach my child from home. I live at home - surprising huh! Thank goodness I love my home! It's my haven. And since I gave up the cleaning lady to hire an assistant for my husband so that I have more time to home school, I have become a cleaning slave too, but so far I'm enjoying it. No one cleans your house like you do! Although it was nice for a year to let someone else try. :-)

I don't know how much I should write on this first blog. Anyone out there...a little help. I don't want to offend anyone, although I could. I don't want to bore anyone, I'm sure I will. I don't really know what I'm doing, but I will figure it out.

So, tomorrow I meet with another homeschooling Mom in my town and get some "pointers". I can't wait! Then I need to clean the mini-van or as I like to call it the family-truckster! We're going away for our annual Labor Day weekend trip. YAAAA! More on that later.

I guess I should end it there - as my blood sugar is raging from the 4 mini-peppermint patties I ate - I'm a gastric bypass patient - 4 years out a LOVIN' IT! But shouldn't eat that crap - so now I need some protein to even things out.

Peace Out!
