Getting started...

I hate to think I've become a follower.  I mean, sure I follow other blogs.  I follow the news (usually).  I feel like I'm constantly following my 2 year old around to prevent some form of disaster from happening.  So here I am now...following in the footsteps of all of the many, many bloggers who have come before me.  I never ever thought I'd start my own blog... but darn it, EVERYone else is doing it so why not me??  Well, maybe because there's nothing special for me to share.  I'm just a mom.  Though that statement alone is a loaded one.  I realize that being "just a mom" means being so many things.  So maybe there's more to me than I think... and maybe through this blog I can help myself discover what more there is.  Then maybe, just maybe, someone else will discover my blog...and maybe even (gasp!) be able to relate to it.  That's a lot of maybes!  I'm going into this without any high hopes, that's for sure...but I think it might be fun!  If anyone out there decides to read along with me and my crazy thoughts then welcome aboard!  I hope you find it worth your while.  :)
