Well, at one time I THOUGHT it was a good idea to start a family blog. After all, it seems everyone has a blog nowadays, but you know what they say about good intentions...
I haven't been able to come up with anything to blog about and fact is, I didn't want to come across as...well, you know, boring. But apparently we must be boring!
We've been plugging along with the usual status quo and if anything comes up that even looks like it is remotely exciting in our house, chances are (at least in my opinion) someone or someones out there will not find it the least bit interesting.
But then, I've been told that personal blogs are really for the benefit for those who are actually doing the blog. Who cares if people out there don't enjoy what I post! After all, my blog is about me, right? Me, me, me. So I should just blog to my heart's content and not worry about whether it is interesting. Someone once gave me suggestions on things to blog about and if all I have to blog about is the fact that my kids managed to stay out of the doctor's office for a week or if my husband was saved from the brink of insanity when our kids finally returned to school, then so be it.
On the news front however, our 18 year old son, Adam just started a post-secondary autistic program in our home district, we'll see how that goes, we're a little skeptical. Our 17 year old, Alice is officially (AAACH!) a senior and is preparing to start applying to colleges. How we'll pay for it, is a whole 'nother story. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
Our 12 year old, Leslie is in seventh grade and wait, get this, just made her school basketball team. She is the first athlete in our immediate family. Well, I guess that's not true, Joel did wrestling in high school. Sorry Joel. But, it's the first athlete we've had as parents.
Caleb, our resident soon to be 7 year old and Jedi Knight in training just started second grade. He's finally getting used to the idea that school has actually started. Did I mention he lives and breathes Star Wars?
Miranda, our 4 1/2 year old just started her second year of Early Intervention Pre-school and has made tremendous progress in her speech. She's still has a ways to go to catch up, she just came to me and asked me to make some "hopcorn" but she's getting there. She's still pretty doggone cute.
Joel is still job searching but hopes to be gainfully employed again soon. He's got one good prospect right now and we're really hoping that it leads to a face to face interview and eventually a job offer.
Me? Well, I'm still employed. I don't know about gainfully, but I'm still employed. I'm still working in the same pharmacy. It still keeps me busy and most of the time I still enjoy it. Except on the days that I don't, like when it is insanely busy or if we have mean and nasty customers to deal with.
So that's that. Yep, pretty boring.
But you know, I'm really probably worrying over nothing because anyone who ever knew we started a blog probably has given up checking to see if we have posted anything new. Thus, no one will ever read it. After all, I forgot we had a blog.
