So here's my first blog!! My sister, Sam, was kind enough to help me get started and then she told me -- well write your first blog. Of course, I realized I didn't know what to write about. So I decided to wait a bit. I guess the 1st thing to write about -- why did I decide to set-up a blog? I'm not 100% sure. Maybe it's because I'm awful about keeping track of significant events in my children's lives. I'm not even sure I know where their baby books are at this time. Maybe it's because I tend to stress myself out and need to use this blog as "therapy". Maybe it's because I want yet another excuse to sit on my butt and mess with the computer! It's probably a little bit of all of these.
The first item is probably the best thing to document. I really am terrible at tracking important things. Which is ironic considering for years I've teased my parents and family that I've blocked out my childhood. To be honest, my 5 year-old Katelyn will remind of things we did just last year and I won't remember. Forget blocking out my childhood, I think I just have a terrible memory altogether. So as long as I remember to blog, maybe this will serve as a guide to my life.
Question # 2 - why did I decide to go with Working Mom...Seeking Sanity! as a name. Well, let me tell you a bit about my life. My husband, Dennis, and I live in a small town in Eastern Iowa. We've lived here for the last 8 years and have become more and more involved in the community. In addition, we now are raising a 1st grader, Katelyn, soon to be preschooler, Elizabeth and a one year old, Luke. It's amazing how have a child in school exploded our activity calendar, I'm not sure I have a large enough calendar for three school age children! Along with all of this, I recently was promoted to Financial Analyst Manager with 3 people reporting to me. I can tell that as much as I wish I had it altogether all the time. This crazy life is stressful for me. I will admit that for some reason, I'm very particular about things. My husband thinks I'm goofy because I need to make a list to clean the house -- and a very specific list!!! So as I continue to adjust to life with school age children and more work responsibilities, I figured it would be good to have a way to express myself.
Well, this tired mama better wrap things up for tonight. It's time to sign-off for now. Good night!!
