Family

It's been said that we can choose our friends but we can't choose our family. It's too bad. I want a family that is supportive and one that I look forward to being with not one that I dread doing things with. When I know I am going to have to spend hours with my family I get that sick feeling in my stomach. I read blogs about other families and they all seem so nice and they seem like they are actually friends. I wouldn't count my family as friends. The people that live in my house (husband, myself and 2 kids) don't count. Whenever my husband and I get a whole day to do something fun with the kids I cherish that time and it's usually a lot of fun. I'm talking about immediate family outside of the house, in-laws included. I've also heard it said that we choose our families before we were born and to that I have to say to: What the heck was I thinking?

Hello!

I have been thinking about starting a blog for a few weeks and didn't really know if I had enough to say or if it would be interesting. Then I thought so what if no one reads it - I can still say it. My first few posts will probably be boring while I'm figuring this stuff out but oh well. If anyone actually reads this then I apologize. So here's a little info about me: I'm 33 years old, married for 9 years and mother to 2 amazing kids. My oldest is a girl - 7 years old and my youngest is a boy - 2 years old. We have a dog, 1 year old poodle. We live in Ohio. I hate winter but we've lived her our whole lives (except for a short stint in TN but we'll get into that later) and it would be difficult to leave.
