Introduction

I don't really know why I am writing this blog...bored at work I suppose.  I'm not sure if anyone will want to read it, but I've been meaning to start a journal (one of those New Year's resolutions that never seems to happen).  I never seem to have time to write in a journal...hello...I have four kids (five if you count my hubby) and a full time job.  I guess I'm just looking to put my thoughts down on paper (or on an LCD screen) and give myself a place to look back and reflect upon all the craziness life with four boys brings.  About me: thirties, happily married for 10 years, 4 kids (D who's 9, R who's 5, and twins A and Z who are almost 10 months).  I don't think when I was a teenager I would have looked forward in time and pictured myself doing what I do now with 4 kids.  It's crazy where life takes you.  I love every minute of it though.  The twins brought a whole new dimension into everything.  I enjoy seeing them interact with eachother and us.  It's like being a new mother all over again.  It's such a completely different experience.  Each day is bittersweet, though, as I know these two are my last kids.  I can't wait to see what they do each day, yet I know that means they are one day older and growing farther away from the baby stage.  It makes me sad.  Don't we all look at our kids and wish we could stop time at that moment?  And then of course they get a little older and we wish we could stop time at that moment instead.  I try to make sure and enjoy every moment with my kids, but like everyone else, I get wrapped up at times in the mundane everyday tasks that must be done and forget sometimes to make what little time I have sometimes matter with my kids.  One of the things I am working really hard to remind myself all the time...slow down!  Well, I guess that's all for now.  I really could just start typing and continue on for hours about my probably boring most of the time but crazy some of the time life, but being as I'm the only one probably going to read it, I will save myself the snoozer for now.  Until next time...let's see if my New Year's...I guess it's really a Februaryish resolution sticks and I blog again!  I'm sure my kids will give me plenty of material in no time! ;)
