Beginnings

I hope that this will be the beginning of a new adventure.

For you -- I am hoping this blog will offer you a place to come and shake your head at another family's misdeeds.  A stop along your busy day where you can have a few sips of whatever it is you are drinking (my vote would be a mocha frappuccino) while reading something that may make you smile...or possibly wince.  If you pee in your pants, then I win and you owe me whatever it was you were drinking.

For me -- I have always enjoyed writing, and to be honest, am a tad bit angered at all of the success people are having lately with their amateur blogs.  Let's face it, I am just jealous.  All the same, here is my amateur attempt.  Maybe I will meet with success, maybe I will run out of time and this will fizzle into oblivion, maybe no one will read it.  At least I tried.

For us -- I hope this will be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.  Not the kind where we meet for coffee (unless it is metaphorically speaking, as in we "meet" here at this blog while you drink your morning cuppa) - don't expect our families go on weeklong vacations together - but the kind where you respect someone from a distance all the while knowing that if you really got to know them you probably wouldn't like them very much.  Still, I hope you will enjoy what you read, friend.

Now sit up, and start finding some joy in all that parenting you do or you're not getting any dessert.  For a week!
