Well...Here We Go!!

So the year is now what...2012? And I am just now joining the world of blogging, which started in 1999 by the way...LOL.  I always seemed to consider myself pretty computery savvy.  You know, I emailed all the time and then of course got all the various instant messengers...but for some reason I had a hard time embracing the "Social Networking" world.  It's true...those who know me...know me to be outgoing, friendly and definitely not afraid to meet new people.  You probably get it...I just had those "people" that I didn't really want to be searching for me on MySpace, Friendster and of course the big and notorious Facebook. 

However, all that changed when I got my Real Estate License.  After I signed up with my Broker, she had this list of things I should do to ensure I get my name out there and market myself.  What were the first three things on the list?? Why Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter of course.  It was all over from there...what I once shunned as being such a horrible place is now something that I keep signed on all day on a daily basis.  Even in the background when I'm playing with the kids and doing household things.  I will always walk by and glance to see if that little icon is lit up red.  Sometimes, I even feel a little sad if it doesn't have anything.  LOL

Now...what has prompted me to want to start a blog?!?!  I mean, that's really getting my name out there and those "people" that I don't want to find me, may have all the chance in the world...LOL.  Well...I'm doing it because as my daughter, who is 14 weeks old is growing up, I'm realizing that I do not remember a lot of the things she is doing that my son did not 3 years before.  I was bad and never journaled anything with him.  Sure, I've partially made a baby book for him and I've written cute sayings he's said...but I've never kept track of the day to day things that are the wonders of parenting.  I've watched my neighbor write such a wonderful blog, tracking all the monthly accomplishments of each of her children and all the cool crafts she does and once she told me that she was able to put it into a book...I was sold! 

Not only will I keep track of my childrens progress and accomplishments, I hope I will have you laughing at what I called life as I tackle these two kids, handle a husband who works out of the home, attempt to get a catering business up and running and lead an active Mom's group.  I really do amaze myself sometimes with the things I'm able to take on...so heck...why not throw writing a blog on there to add even more stress right?!?! LOL  I mean gee...it's only taken me all day to get this first blog going because Lil Miss Princess has decided that although she slept for 11 hours last night (definitely not complaining about that) that she doesn't need to take a nap today and is in constant need of attention...while her 3 year old brother is on hour 2 of his nap he takes EVERY day...LOL....but such is life!

I hope you'll enjoying following me as we take on this crazy thing called life and kids and now that we have two...the fun is only just beginning!!
