The beginning...

So I decided that I needed something new to pass the time. As if taking care of a house, husband and almost one year old daughter isn’t enough. To be honest, getting a new hobby is something I do often, but rarely do I keep my hobby of the month. This one I’m going to keep. Really.

So the whole reason I need a new hobby is because like the other thousands of Michiganders, I am unemployed. I know, I’m a mom, that’s plenty enough of a job. However, I’m a laid off music teacher (shocker in this economy, I know), so I’m an over achiever by definition. If you’ve ever know a music teacher personally, you will understand what I’m talking about. Most teachers are over achievers, to be honest, but music teachers are just plain nuts. We love the challenge of having sixty plus crazy, hyper students in front of us with noise makers. Hello?!? Tell me that’s not the sign of someone who is certifiable. Let’s just say that I’m not happy if I’m not busy.

So all the moms (working or otherwise) out there will be thinking that I’m crazy thinking that I’m not busy enough with a nearly one year old running around. To be honest, my daughter doesn’t really test me all that much. I told you I was certifiable. I spent most of my high school and college years working in different day care infant and toddler rooms, so one nearly toddler doesn’t scare me in the least. Lexi is wonderful. She likes to play by herself most of the time, stopping to show me a toy here and there. Now when she finally starts walking, that’s when the trouble will start.

The long and short of it is welcome to my random ramblings. I can’t promise on steady subject, but if I have to guess, most of this will be centered around raising my daughter. She is the center of my world lately.

Adios.
