Not a blogger, just a mother.

Well it seems I am not too good at keeping a blog. However, I am not sure anyone but me reads it. My husband just found out I even had a blog. It wasn't a secret and I clearly remember telling him about it. It was just one of those things that he heard, but didn't recall. And, hey, as you can see, I don't write on here often. Once or twice a year seems to be my MO.

I pondered this question about my lack of writing. I see all these wonderful blogs with pictures and videos and I think it's a great way to communicate, but yet I still fall short. My answer came to me in a quiet voice, "You're a mother!"

I was a bit taken aback. Yeah, so are a lot of other women on the blogger network. What is my excuse? Frankly, I don't have one. Plain and simple, I am not a writer. Writing comes so easy and natural for many people. My husband is a good example of a great writer. He can compose anything from an eloquent email to a surprising medical drama. I, on the other hand, am bombarded by life as a mom of 3 children. And if we were to take a look at the past 12 months, we could probably see why I didn't have the time to write.

Well, I actually started listing it all out and I realized that no one would read about my last year if I paid them. Anyway, here are a few pictures that show why my life is busy.

My Joel Boy has started on real food. Good thing, too. He's a hungry boy!

Yes, we got a puppy! Someone said that I must have a lot of energy, but I plead insanity! Why does my husband love labs so?

Those are just 2 little reasons why my life is crazy. If I get any time, it's usually to rest my weary body and hope for a few hours of uninterrupted sleep. However, I don't think I'll get that for a long time.
