Well, I have lurked on blogs for oh so long, but have finnaly decided that with all the time I have on my hands, between homeschooling, church going, La Leche Leaguing, raising 3 kids, a husband, a dog and some fish....to jump in with both feet and journal our lives!
So I will start by introducing the nestful...our daddy bird is a software engineer, a great father and husband. Chikadea (the mom...that's me) is a busy bird who barely keeps up with the nest building. I have some life philosophies that are not exactly mainstream, but that I hope to be able to express here, without as much harsh criticizim as I recieve in real life. I also hope if anyone has any advice about home organization it will help, I am a horrible housekeeper! The three hatchlings are J-train (8) who is a huge Star Wars fan eventhough his parents are lame enough not to let him see the new movies yet, Princess (6) our budding artist, and the Little Monster (22months) who is part monkey and all loveable (though I just wish he would sleep!).
I am all of a sudden overwhelmed by all the things in my head that want to explode out into this blog. I didn't do justice to the intros, but I know there will be time for that.
Here is my favorite poem and my inspiration...
The Road Not Taken
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
-Robert Frost
......and so it begins.....
Hey Deanna!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby's a software engineer too! I have three kids (8, 5 and 3), I don't like the dentist and you live RIGHT NEAR my dad (he lives in Highlands Ranch).
How funny! :)
Thanks for linking my blog and I look forward to watching your homeschooling perspective evolve into "watch out world, here I come!" confidence.
