Introducing....Me!

So, I told myself I would never blog. 

I lied.  To myself.

But then again, I have a history of lying to myself.  I swore I'd never wear capri's.  And that I'd give up caffeine forever.  And that I would never, ever, EVER drive a mini van before I turned 30.  Well here I am, currently wearing capris, drinking a diet coke ( which I swore just this week to give up), and toting my kids around in my awesome mini-van (<---- anything that has two televisions to keep the kids from not talking to me is considered awesome).

So yea, I have a history of lying. Mainly to myself.  And possibly my parents over the exisitence of my flute, but that's another story.  My hubs has been putting the blogging bug in my ear for months.  I told him I didn't want to, and left it at that. I was writing books and raising kids, when would I blog? Plus, all my creative juices went into creating my third child, meaning I was rendered dull for about nine months. Now that's he's out, I'm slowly returning to my silly self (note: I think I'm funny. Others might disagree)

But it was my sister that put the final nail into my coffin of lies.  We both read a blog post this morning, recounting the story of when a woman met her dream man, and seemingly squashed all chances of being with said dream man when she let a giant, SBD fart off in the car on a date.

"That was hilarious.  Sounds familiar," I had said to my sister.

" It sounds like something you would write.  You should blog."

And so I put my youngest down for a nap and put video games on for the older chillin's (mental slap on hand for my awesome parenting) and set up my account.  We'll see how it goes, but I have a feeling that my offspring will provide many entertaining stories for me to recount.
