Biting the Blogging Bullet...Welcome to my Blogdom!

Well hello!!!  Forgive me for taking such a long leave of absence on you.  Life has been busy, as usual...and it's just January!  I knew I wanted to write today, but I really wasn't sure what to write about.  I figured there would be at least a few people waiting for the next installment of the Bullet, but only because they told me so, lol.  Then it hit me!  I'll write about waiting!  Goodness knows I've done enough of that today! For Pete's sake!  Y'all have waited 17 days for this post, hahaha! Don't you just hate to wait?  Wait to see the doctor, wait to get prescriptions filled, wait to have tests run, wait for results, wait in line to drop off kids, wait to pick them up, wait in line at the grocery store, dollar store, Wally World...wait, wait, wait.  I wait for my check to be deposited, wait for the next pay day, wait for food to cook, wait for it to cool, wait for laundry to wash, and then for it to dry.  Wait to get marrie...

It's New Year's Eve and my week long sabbatical has come to a screeching halt!  I hit the ground with both feet, and immediately started running...figuratively speaking, of course.  I haven't actually RAN in twenty years.  (Well there was that one time...we were burning off the field and the fire got away from us.  My then husband jumped the fence to try and stop it from hitting the woods, but his pants caught on the barbed wire.  He fell right next to the fire.  It didn't burn him, but it was so close that it singed his eyelashes!  This crippled woman physically ran trying to get to him.  It's amazing what adrenaline can do, lol.)  So, anyway.  I digress!   Yesterday I had no idea that today would consist of anything but laying around the house.  All that changed pretty quickly :)  I'm babysitting today.  Natalie has been happy to have company!  A lady from church asked me to keep her eight year old while she ...

Good Morning!  Woke up a little after four a.m. and I'm still awake.  Ugh! I hate it when I do that!  Especially since it was almost midnight when I went to sleep.  Anyway...as I was lying there trying to go back to sleep, my mind bounced around like one of those little rubber balls you get out of the quarter machines.  I prayed for a little while, mentally arranged my week, and thought about going to the early church service (honestly just so I could dress down since I really need new clothes that fit my more voluptuous (read, increasingly plumper) body).  I listened to Matthew 4 on my phone.  I thought about how much I need to do laundry today.  I checked Facebook!  I tried to go back to sleep, lol. As I tossed and turned, my mind shifted back and forth over all the things I want to accomplish this year.  I've been mentally working on what I need to do to prepare for what lies ahead.  I have a book to write.  I have artwork...

Well hello!  Welcome to my blog.  Some of my friends have been encouraging me to write one for a couple of years.  So, why start now?  I am balanced on this proverbial cliff, ready to jump off into 2013.  I 've been looking back over 2012 and saw a few of the hills and valleys behind me , b ut for the most part, I couldn't see much of what had happened.  This blog is my way of remembering a year of my life.  Don't expect great reading material here, lol.  I ramble.  Alot!  I may ponder o ver what I've read in my Bible that day, talk about my my three awesome kids, my artwork, a photography job, or procrastinating cleaning my kitchen.  I can, however, promise you one thing.  I will always be real.   So, without further adieu... come on and join me as we leap off into 2013.  The adventure awaits us!  :D
