Hello, out there! I am Jen, the Lady of the house. Here are a few things you need to know about me:
1. I am a flawlessly flawed 35 year old.
2. I have been married for 14 years to Mister Man.
3. If you told me before I had kids, that I would homeschool, I would have told you that you were nuts.
4. I have lived in the same state for most of my life (33 to be exact.)
5. We own the house my mother grew up in.
About a year ago, I was introduced to this thing called blogs. I enjoyed spending time at the end of my day reading about others, so much so, that I thought about starting my own (It was more of a dream). I kept making excuses why it wouldn't work. And yet, I found myself making up names and things that I might share. Mister Man would ask questions like," When are you going to start yours" or "That would be a great topic to write about". I was getting close to narrowing down a name and had a multitude of ideas. I told Minster Man about what I had been thinking, when he said," You should do it". Without even thinking I started that Saturday afternoon. I played around trying to get just the "perfect " look and there it sat for two weeks. I just couldn't find the right words. I attempted it many times, I just couldn't write. So I made a goal for the end of the month. I did it, I finally did it! It took some time and a lot of deleting. It's not perfect, but I can now say I started.
This is a reccurring problem in my life. My middle school years, perfection hit hard. If I couldn't do something perfect I wouldn't do it. I wonder how many wonderful opportunities I missed out on. Well not today! I did it, I finally did it!
