With the exception of a few myspace blogs here and there, this is my first real blog. Honestly, as a stay at home mom I sometimes wonder if I have anything interesting to say that doesn't revolve around poop or household cleaners. Until I think of something worth sharing, I'll just jot down some stuff that I'm thinking about lately.
1. I wasn't able to vote in the presidential caucus, and I wish I could have. I bugs me when people say their vote doesn't count. It's so small minded to think this, much less say it. Enough said.
2. I am anxious for the writers strike to be over. I miss new episodes of The Office every Thursday.
3. You should do something nice for someone every week.
4. Having kids is awesome, but is so much work. Why didn't anyone explain this to me in a way I could understand. I've watched my mom's roots get more and more gray throughout the years, but I never put two and two together, haha.
5. I hate that when I eat something sweet, I crave sweets the next day.
6. I am determined to get vegetables into my kids even if they don't like them. If you need any tips, let me know, I have a few.
7. Have you every wanted to buy something really bad, but it was just slightly out of your reach/budget. It's a frustrating experience. I'm usually a pretty content person and try not to complain, but I've had a tough time lately with this one. In the large scheme of things we're so blessed to have a house 2 cars, 2 TV's 2 refrigerators... It's so easy to want more. It's a mature person that can be truly content with what they have even as they are in long term pursuit of more, or a "better life." Make sense?
8. Have you ever seen Making the Band on MTV? I think he's "made" 3 bands now, but still the show continues. I think a proper title would be "Making Diddy Money" or "Making a TV Show."
I think that's plenty of my insights for one evening.

Hi Tonia! I'm glad to see you have a blog, now I won't feel like I'm missing out on seeing you and those little ones quite so much. :-)
I liked your thoughts/musings... very well said. I would have to say that I totally agree with everything you said, especially about voting, kids being hard to raise, and being content. I have been thinking these exact same things for some time now.
Good work on your first blog, I can't wwait to read more! :-)
Hello. I like this little blog. Even though we see each other often, we don't really have the time to share these kinds of thoughts because we are usually chasing kids.
I agree about voting, especially for women. We worked so hard to gain that right, we should use it. (easier said than done when you have kids)
I love The Office as well and I am sick of all the re-runs. I miss Grey’s Anatomy too. The new season of 24 was supposed to start in Jan., but the strike has ruined that as well. On the bright side of it, at least I am getting a lot more done in the evenings.
I know what you mean about being content with what you have. I also feel very fortunate, but can’t help thinking about things that I really want but don’t need (or can’t afford right now). I just remind myself that it’s not “things” that make me happy, it’s just having my family and knowing that I am trying to live a good life.
I definitely don't eat enough vegetables myself. I think I'm going to start buying those V8 Splash drinks that have 100% of veggie and fruit intake. What do you think?
