FIRST ATTEMPT:
Hello everybody. This is, for anybody who knows me well, a great attempt to overcome my "technological inadequacies." I am proud to say, that I have begun this blog without asking my husband any questions on how to do this. Normally, short of checking my e-mail, there is not much I can do without my husband as my computer co-pilot. I have decided to start a blog for a variety of reasons. I titled this FIRST ATTEMPT, as I feel I am at a point in my life where I am attempting many things for the first time. For example, "Blogging."
My husband, son, and I, went to the green house today to buy some shrubs for my garden. Again, a first attempt, as I have never done much landscaping. I have a perennial garden that I have been working on for about 3 years now, and decided the other day that I needed to work in some shrubs. So, I choose some low maintenance shrubs. Hopefully they will look just as good in the fall as they do now.
As I mentioned early,my son came along for the green house visit. He is my "first attempt," at becoming a real live grown-up. He was born almost 6 m. ago, and some days I still am in shock that I am married, and a mom. Don't misunderstand me, being a wife, and a mother are the 2 most amazing things I have done with my life. But, sometimes, I still can't believe that I am a grown-up.
One of my nieces, whom just turned 5, refers to me as a grown-up. It is amazing, I still feel like I am an early 2o's, just out of college grad. But, to her, I am her cousins mom. It's amazing, I am what I viewed my dad being. It's funny how it never occurred to me as a kid, that my dad was not always my dad. He to was once an early 20 something guy. Anyway, most of my blogging will be about everyday things. But, as the past 6 m. of my life went by in a somewhat sleep-deprived, unorganized, hair in a pony-tail, mostly in my black yoga pants blur, I just wanted to share with anybody whom is interested in knowing, what my life is and has become.
In 2 days, I will celebrate my first Mother's Day. Mother's Day is not a holiday I ever remember celebrating, as I lost my mom to cancer when I was very young. Today, I was driving home from work (yes, I do work 2 days a week,) when I began to think: Wow, last year at this time I was thinking "How am I going to do this? I don't know how to be a mom!" Now, I sit back and think "What did I do before my B.Herb?" Motherhood really and truly is an amazing gift. Thank you god, and Brad for giving me such a joy. So, this Mother's Day weekend, I would like to say a few things.
1: Love your kids to the moon and back, for if time continues to go as quickly as the past 6 m. have, I will soon be putting B. Herb on the bus for school.
2: Cherish those early morning and late night feedings, for it occurred to me today, that in 6 more months, my son will no longer be taking a bottle.
3: Lastly, remember, that none of us know if we will be here for our next Mother's Day, Birthday, or Anniversary. So, I would like to say "I love you to my B. Herb, and Brad." Thank you both for all of the "first attempts" I am experiencing with you.
Good night
