I broke down

Yes, I finally broke down and decided to create a blog site. I don't quite know what I'm doing, but hopefully I can learn as I go. I decided my own little page devoted to my thoughts, ideas, pics, fave sites and what not would be good for me.

Today is Memorial Day and I technically have the day off, although we did spend a little of it at work. It's been a nice day. The sun is shining, the kids are a lot of fun, and it's nice to just relax with my family. That's something that I have been really missing lately, time with my family. Granted, yes I work with my hubby and daughter, and when we work late, I take my son too, but I have been feeling so guilty lately that I haven't been able to devote the time I normally make for them, so today having the day with them to just relax and have fun, makes all the hard work we've been doing worthwhile.

I am so thankful to have them. I grew up in a dysfunctional family to say the least, so it's nice to be able to create my own version of what a family should be. Although I gripe a lot, I am very happy. Happy with my son, my daughter, my husband, my life overall. Yes, things could be better, more money, less hours, bigger house, less clutter, but overall, things are very good!

We drove through the battlefield while letting the kids nap in the backseat and it is so heartbreaking to see all those graves, people who fought and died for this country. I agree there is a need for war, at times when all else fails, but it's still disconcerting to see .
