Losing my 'Blogging Virginity"

Wow, I'm looking at this incredibly blank page waiting for me to make my creative mark in blogging history. Yikes. A blogging virgin. And I'm sitting here wondering what in the world could I possibly have to write about that other people want to know? I don't have any particularly striking piece of wisdom, beauty or any other amazingly brilliant anecdote to grace you with. I often have days filled with macaroni and cheese, dirty laundry, a sink full of dishes and best of all sticky fingers that grab my face and say, "Mommy, I wuv you to the moon and stars and space and back!" I have a husband who is amazing in my eyes. Even though he leaves his dirty laundry on the bedroom floor, gets cranky when he doesn't know where he's going, and spends an inordinate amount of time completely engrossed in ESPN.
I am at a strange place in life, I have been through a gamut of emotional highs and lows in the last 3 years that have completely changed my outlook on life. I have experienced the hurt of divorce, the stress of single parenthood, the excitement and yes, let's face it, completely blinding fear of dating, the pain of losing my mother to cancer, watching my father remarry, and last but not least the joy of falling in love.

I am not at all convinced that I have anything worth posting that will help anyone. But my love for people drives me to seek friendship even in blogging. I would love to say that I feel I can contribute to the struggles of other people by posting helpful advice, unfortunately most of what I have learned has been through my mistakes, not my divinely given wisdom. So while advice probably isn't something you'll find here, I hope that you'll get a good laugh. If I make one person smile, then I have made a worthwhile contribution to society! And so saying, I will close for now. I have alot to learn about this blogging thing. I have alot more mistakes to make that I'll be sure to tell you all about in glowing detail! But right now, I have a sweet man who is patiently waiting for me to spend a little time with him. So I'm off for some cuddling and House Hunters on HG! Ah life, it's real, and usually....it's funny!
