My first entry

      I'm dedicating this blog to my two daughters, who are now 2 1/2 and 14 months. I've often thought that I would like to read my Moms thoughts and diaries from the time she was raising my sister me and my brother, thankfully now technology makes that much easier.

     For a variety of reasons I have found myself very literally a Stay at Home Mom, and when I say stay at home, I mean just that at home, without many possibilities  of going anywhere except for the weekends when my husband is home. I was extremely frustrated and dare I say desperate at first, for me the ideal day would have me up early in the morning with  an hour by hour plan and a long list of things to do and places to be so to be confined to my house is especially difficult, but I have decided to embrace the opportunity to enjoy this time with my daughters and make the most of it. I do enjoy my children, I wanted children for a long time and I do consider them a very special gift and I treasure my time with them, but I have never thought of myself as a particularly creative person, you know those people that create projects out of thin air and build houses and small villages with a cardboard box and water bottles, I knew someone like that when I was a kid, he was so much fun and actually made a circus with us using scraps of paper to make masks, created a stage for us with benches and blankets and made this big production, I must have been about 7 or 8 and thought it was incredible how he could think up something like that. To be fair right now my kids are pretty small and what they most enjoy is having me sit there and play with them and as my eldest daughter says "keep your eyes on me don't look down" (my phone), so maybe I'm not doing so bad for now.
