I Did It, I Finally Did It!

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!
