Ahem.....This is My Introduction

This is my blog. If you're looking for the type of blog that's all fancy........shirt tucked in with a belt (shoes to match), make-up on, nails painted and all of the other finishing touches.....this blog is probably not for you. This will be more of an ugly-old-t-shirt -and-ten-year-old-pajama-pants blog. A lucky-to-remember-to-put-on-my-chapstick, much-less-all-of-my-make-up type of blog. A nails-painted-three-weeks-ago-and-a-few-flecks-of-polish-are-still-hanging-on-for-dear-life type of blog. A hair-on-the-top-of-my-head-in-a-messy-bun type of blog. SO.....if you're still reading this, high five. You've made it through all of my hyphens, and we've made it through our first paragraph together.

I'm not sure what this blog will become, but I can tell you what it won't be. Picture Martha Stewart.........and then look wayyyyyy down at the other end of the spectrum (don't hurt yourself) and that's where you'll find me, probably distracted or possibly taking a nap. I won't be giving you tips on how to make cute Halloween cupcakes or "how to's" on wall stenciling and wreath-making.  You also won't see me posting pics of myself neatly packing school lunches in brightly colored and embroidered lunch bags . More than likely, I'll be posting about how we were down to the last Gatorade that morning and how I diluted it, made two out of it and then congratulated myself for being such a genius (even though I knew my kids would be cursing me when they tasted it come lunch time).

 I don't have to try very hard to find humor in things. In fact, it usually slaps me in the face. And my goal here will be to share my experiences (good, bad and ugly) through the humor that presents itself. 

I believe in being real. I think we should all spend less time trying to impress one another, and more time identifying with and supporting one another. By sharing my stories in a real way, I hope that first and foremost, people might get a chuckle out of it. But I also hope that people (the three of four of you who might eventually subscribe to my blog) will be able to relate, or at least walk away from it feeling a little bit better about your own situation. It's the same reason I watch, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo".

Here's to new adventures (even if they're brought on by relentless pressure by mom and her co-horts)!!  ;-)
