First blog....

        Yes, hard to believe that in this day and age this is MY FIRST BLOG! I started this blog for many reasons. First, well to be honest my mother told me to. One day while sitting at the dining room table I asked her for maybe the 1,000th time what should I do in life? she then asked "what do you like to do, what gets you motivated?" I simply said "writing". It's the only class in college that I got an A in and the only class that was fun and excititng for me. So she mentioned this blog idea. The next reason is because I am almost 23 (in 2 weeks) and I took time off of school to "figure out what i want to do". It has been two years and I mainly spent my time hanging out with friends, getting married and having a baby. My son is now 6 months old and my life has veered off track into complete chaos. I love my son more than anything in this world, however, it gets me thinking about how much my life has changed in the past 15 months. It went from going out for drinks, hanging out at cafes and going to sleep when the sun came up, to going to bed at 10pm and I still haven't done what I took off of school to do in the first place . I am certainly not complaining I love being a mother. I just wonder "is it really over? Is being a wife and a mother my path in life? My conversations are ALL about my son and the new things he is doing. Everytime I start to do something for myself, something always pops up and my day is filled with doing things for the baby and my husband. So as I put him to bed every night (the baby, not my husband!) I take time for myself to think about where my train is heading and what I have to do in order to bring the train back on the tracks. So I made a list consisting of my goals and how to get them started. First on my list: Make a blog.  So I guess I am starting this blog to fullfill my passion in writing on the side until I go back to school and actually get a degree in doing what I LOVE!
