My disclaimer...

So anyone who reads this, if anyone still cares to look, knows that I am not the best blogger. Ok so I am really bad at it. Too busy? Maybe, four kids will do that to you. More than that, I think it just must not be my thing. See when I was a kid there was no such thing as blogs. Therefore, I never did aspire to be a great "blogger". In fact, (wow this is going to date me) there was hardly such a thing as "scrapbooking". When I was a kid scrapbooks contained actual scrapes of things from your life.... ticket stubs, poloroids, school certificates, cards from your birthday, you get the picture. Now most scrapbooks I see today contain more $$ spent on stuff from a store to tell your life then things actually from your life. Then there was the journal. You wrote your thoughts in it in your own hand. You almost never let anyone read it. Both scrapbooks and journals then and now, I have never been very good at. That brings me to the blog.... the evolution and combination of both scrapbooking (which is just as fancy only now you get digital cute scrapes) and journaling. My blog was destined for failure from the get go. Don't get me wrong, I actually love reading other blogs and I love all the new fancy digital things on everyone's pages. I just felt compelled to explain myself to my dwindling if not totally non exsistent audience. Why then do I have a blog? Well, my mom lives in Kuwait, my family is spread across four states, and my best friends (to my dismay) do not live next door as I would like. Simply, if I don't it would be an affront to those I care about the most.

With that off my chest, I am going to recommit. Go ahead and laugh if you will. My friends and family and most of all my very far away parents are worth the re-re-re-effort. Will I fall off the wagon... very likely, but I am going to try... harder. Do I sound like an alchoholic yet?

I will forgive you for updating sporadically if you will forgive me. :) I had so much fun when you were here. As always I wish I had gotten to see you more but that is life I guess (till we live by eachother again anyway :) ) Anyways I miss you and am glad to see your update. Cute cute pics. :)

Excuses, excuses! Just kidding. I'm glad for any effort and just thankful you know how to use a phone. I'm okay at blogging, but wondering how it will be with a baby. Wish me luck and I'll wish you luck.
