Promise to Myself

So....here I am finally starting a blog. This all started when day after day after day I was hard on myself for not taking time to write down all the silly and delightful things my children say. I have bought two different journals and put them next to my bed with my favorite pen...but nothing. With three small children I fall asleep before I hit the bed. I want to be able to look back on these hectic, crazy days and remember all the sweet little things they say. I hope to find peace in my mind by knowing I am doing my best as a mother and wife and at the same time leave a little trail to look back at when all too soon they are grown into wonderful young adults and off on their own. Which is a touchy subject with me, because, I feel like it is just around the corner. I look at kids in our small community that were four when my husband and I got married and now they are about to graduate...in the blink of an eye! So, as a write, Nate is out playing with his favorite dog "Sammie", Jake is on his favorite swing going back and forth, back and forth (I practically have to pry him from it at night) and Jo, well she is swimming in the dog water bowl, her favorite place in the world. And me...I am feeling the need to go join in the fun!
