Why am I blogging when I have 100 things to do?

I have asked myself this question numerous times today. In between making meals for my 4 children, picking my 3 yr old up from his play date, walking the dogs with my step daughter, cutting coupons, ordering my 15 yr old's new cell phone, grocery shopping and trying to squeeze in more than one trip to the bathroom(does anyone know the secret to peeing faster?). To add to it, my family and I just got back from four dirt, er I mean FUN filled days of camping at a local beach. So, I am also unpacking, cleaning the RV, well you get my point.



Over my weekend camping, I brought a new book along. I really wasn't expecting to get a chance to read it. But thought I would make an attempt. Besides, wasn't that what women were supposed to do on a camping trip? Read some trashy novels? So, I bought Mommywood by the ever famous, ever controversial Ms. Tori Spelling. I read it in less than two days and loved it! A simple read about motherhood, being a wife, a career woman and all the oops's that come along the way. Even though I am not the daughter of a Television Mogul or didn't grow up in a mansion with it's own zip code, I have never stole another woman's husband and am not currently in the midst of a never ending feud with my crazy mom(more on my mom later) I still totally related to this book! And to Tori, herself. If she can write about everyday life as a woman and make it fun and readable, well so can I.



I have always been a writer - always loved it. I have so much to say and this was the last, little push I needed to inspire me to write about it. This is to be My own "thing", something that is not on my to do list, not scheduled, not a have to. I am going to blog whenever I want, about whatever I want, as much as I want. Will people follow it? I really don't care. I am not doing this for anyone other than myself. I will savor this time. MY time.



Well, I better go. We six leave for a two week trip to Utah on Sunday and you guessed it, I have a hundred things to do.
