I have long thought about starting a blog. I mentally write a post each night, either as I attempt to fall asleep or as I lay awake in the middle of the night. It seems to me if I am going to make that mental effort, I might as well make the "real" effort.
Of course, I have thoughts all over the place: some the boring, commonplace thoughts of any suburban mother, albeit one of four children; others the eccentric thoughts of a woman trained in engineering trying to find her way back to the working world; others the serious thoughts of a 46-year-old diagnosed with a rare cancer.
So, I thought I would beat the New Year's resolution and start today, Dec 30, 2012! I am completely bored, stymied in work that needs to be done for my company because I lack the right files at the moment. Two of the children are gone, Kelsey to FL on a GT training trip and Grace to MD to visit her adoring cousins. The two that are here are peaceful engaged, and Jim and I are waiting to go out ot dinner, alone.
So, my expectation is to use this to record a bit of daily life, a bit of what I think about, and a bit of my memories "just in case."
