Here we go!

So after reading many of my friends blogs, I’ve finally been convinced to start my own (thanks Mary). Being a stay-at-home mom, I sometimes feel my 20 years of schooling are not being put to use. Since I was a Journalism major in college, I should be able to write - or so you’d think. But then again, it’s been almost ten years since I graduated from college and I haven’t done anything journalistic in any of the jobs that I have held. So I will write what I feel and hopefully it will make sense. Not sure what I plan to put on this blog. There is a story behind the web site address - picturethisdinner. My husband, Jeff, so enjoys my cooking and thought I should take pictures of the meals and share them with the rest of the world. It sounded like a neat idea so I thought up a website and purchased the name. This was about two years ago and as you can see, I haven’t added a single entry yet. So my blog may include pictures of dinner and maybe a recipe here or there, or it might just include funny things my kids say (thanks for that one too Mary). Although only one of them can talk right now, she sure does say some funny things! Like the other day when she was playing in the pool and blurted out "THIS IS THE LIFE MOMMY". I also might express how I’m feeling about anything and everything. For example, Allison, my 3 year old, starts preschool for the first time in a couple weeks. I’m excited for her, yet nervous and sad at the same time. My little girl is growing up fast. This will be her first “class” that I will not attend with her and participate. She seems fine with the idea; I on the other hand will wonder how she will survive without her mom. Who will cut up her nuggets? Who will help her go potty? Who will help her up when she falls down? I guess that’s what the role of a teacher is. Boy do I hope she has a good teacher. So I’ll see how things go, I may write often, or less often, depending on if any thoughts are in my head. Whatever it is, I hope you enjoy…Also couldn't have a first post with a picture of my favorite two little munchkins….
