Well, I guess I will jump off into the world of blogging. I don't know if I will be a regular daily blogger or not. Right now it is just something new to play with and take up more of the time I complain about not having to spend on my other hobbies or activities. I have plenty of things to occupy my time. Having four kids, working full time and just keeping up with life is enough to use up my 24/7 allotment. Add to that my expanding photography hobby and classes and a scrapbook hobby that I rarely get to work on. I need to add something else like I need a hole in my head.
I would really like to go back to school and get a degree in photojournalism or some sort of graphic design. I have been taking Photoshop classes and really enjoy them. I plan to take an advanced class in November.
I named this blog The "Wonder" years because it is a time of wonder. As a parent you wonder about a lot of things. Will my kids graduate college, will they find the one true love of their life? Will grow up to be a good person. Have I made the right choices in raising them? Will they end up with kids just like themselves? And when they do, have I been the right kind of parent to teach them how to deal with it? I know that writing this blog will not answer these questions for me and that only time will tell. My kids are the most important thing in my life right now and worry that my being a working parent has a negative impact on them. But their are tons of working parents and their kids turn out alright, so I guess that there is still hope for mine too.
It is not my intent for this blog to be some deep thinking "answer to the meaning of life" thing. Mostly, I plan to keep a record of the kids activities, our lives and sprinkle in some of my thoughts. Who knows, I may hate it and this whole thing maybe very short lived. So try to enjoy it while it lasts. :)

I just found this - I did not know you were blogging. What kind of incentive is there for me if I DON'T tell my Dad??
If you look at the date you will notice that one post I made was over a year ago. I thought I might try it but it was such a busy time that I didn't keep it up. I didn't tell anyone at all that I started it because I didn't know if I would keep do it. I have been thinking about using it post my pages but I hadn't done anything with that yet. Your Dad don't scare me! He is just a big ol' grumpy bear. :)
Lisa you need to change it. First you say you are a sahm but then you say you work full time. You can't have it both ways. Oh and watch your sentences you have and extra I in one and it should be keep doing it, not keep do it. Ok now I have left you a nice comment like you wanted are you happy?? Love ya,
Mom
Mom...you commented on the post that is over 1 year old. At the time that was posted I did work fulltime. I know you are new to this stuff but you will catch on. And NO grammar corrections allowed.
Well if it was written a year ago why did u just now send it to me?
