First blog

Well I decided I should start blogging. I was told by many that it could be therapeutic, and since my eye won't stop twitching I thought I would give it a try.

Most days I feel like I may be a little nutty, but I know I still have some sort of normal hiding inside. Let me give you a little background: I just got re-married about 3 months ago to a fabulous man, I have two munchkins (8yr old girl & 5 yr old boy), and two dogs (great dane and doberman). I faux finish for a living (murals, marbling, antique new things to make them look old, etc). It's a lot of fun and I get to be home in time for my kids to get home from school.

My main goal in life after I had kids was to raise them the best way I could. And now I have help from an incredibly wonderful husband that never ceases to amaze me. I know it may sound corny and you may say "she's still a newlywed", but we have been together for a while now and it has just gotten better. Needless to say my life is in a pretty good place right now.

So you may ask, "Why is your eye twitching?". Well that's what I'm trying to figure out. Is it because my boss is out of town for the next 2 weeks? Is it because we are planning on getting pregnant soon and the idea has me a little nervous and overwhelmed, as well as excited and extremely content? Is it because I constantly yell at my dogs for being bad? Or because I'm never able to keep the house clean and the laundry put away? Or that I need to find a new job for whenever I get pregnant and can't be around chemicals? I just don't know, but I guess its a combination of those things.

But somehow I make it through the day, with the help of some nice pills that the doctor gave me ;), without ripping my hair out. When I look at the big picture I really have it pretty easy. I have everything I could need and I know I should be thankful for all of my so called problems. At least I don't have to worry about where my next meal come from and where we'll sleep at night. I get to worry about what will happen on Heroes next season and how lame I thought the season finale was. I mean, come on, they could of left us in more suspense, right? And what's up with Grey's anatomy? Everyone is totally screwed up again, but I guess that's how they keep us coming back for more. And then I wonder about American Idol and I wonder who really votes. I mean I watch it and all but I always tivo it, and do I really want to take the time to call? I know I can be totally random, but that's just how my mind works. And amazingly enough, my hubby can follow me when I talk in circles about random pointless things.

Okay so that's about all I can think about in this 15 minute segment of my day, my eye has stopped twitching and that in its self is a great reason to keep up this blog...but wait, I just smelled something burning in my lovely kitchen (I'm not the best cook). I swear, I'm getting so absentminded at times. Before I sat down at the computer to type this I started to boil some water for my dinner. And guess what, I totally forgot about it and left it for so long that there was no longer any water at all in the pan. How on earth did I do that? Its just plain not thinking. Go figure. So now I get to start all over again and figure out if I really want to wait for another pot of water to boil or if cereal is good enough for dinner tonight. I think I may be safer going the cereal route tonight, before my eye starts twitching again.

So here are some questions to put out in the universe: How do I keep my great dane from jumping on my couch constantly? How does the Mr.Clean magic sponge really work? I mean its truly amazing, it can clean anything up! Do elves come and mess my house up everyday when I'm gone? How come its easier to make a mess than it is to clean it up? I mean it should take the same amount of effort right? And finally, why does cookie dough and brownie batter taste so good, and do we really have to cook it?
