Beginnings

I spend a lot of time creating blog posts in my head.  My friend Jaymi recently compared it to the voice-overs on the Wonder Years TV show, and I think that is an apt description.  Up to this point I have limited myself to comments posted on friends (as well as strangers whose blogs I follow so often that I imagine that we are friends) blogs.  However today I was overcome with the desire to make my own voice heard.  I keep thinking that I have something to say.  I'm not sure what that is... or what it will be.  Maybe I will be amusing... maybe I will be a voice for the socially underprivileged... but I doubt it. It seems like I must have some relevance somewhere inside my head. 
   There have been so many things going on lately... watching a friend with a gravely ill daughter made me so appreciative for my boys' health.  I cried as I waited for word of her condition, and I cried again as she was finally able to bring that precious girl home.
    I had the best Mother's Day.  My boys were the sweetest.  Although it CRACKED ME UP when I picked Brayden up from the Learning Center at Church.  During first service he was the only kid in his class so they were making lots of tissue paper flowers for Mother's Day, and then I guess he got bored with that so they started making different crafts with the pipe cleaners... so I got a beautiful bouquet of tissue paper flowers... and a pair of handcuffs.  I just laughed and laughed.  Handcuffs?  Because nothing says I love my Mommy like handcuffs!!  OR he thought I was going to be very naughty...  either way it was ADORABLE!!!!  It goes down as one of my favorite things ever.  Bodie got me another neck pillow for the car.  Should I take that as a sign that I can't stay awake in the car?  Ok, I'll admit it; I can't stay awake in the car.  And apparently my children have noticed, because Bodie has now given me 3 neck pillows.  But I love them and I love him. 
    Maybe this is rambling, and maybe it sounded better in my head.  But it is a beginning.  Everyone has to start somewhere, and this is my somewhere.  Welcome.  I hope you enjoy the crazy ride that is my life.
