Getting Started

This blogging thing is all new to me. I've been thinking about doing it for a while and thought I'd start with a Facebook account. So, I've been a semi-professional facebook-er now for about 3 days, now it's time to try my hand at blogging.

I'd like to share with you some of the daily escapades from our always-busy house. People around me seem to get a good laugh from our family's mishaps, so I thought I'd share with everyone.

I hope you enjoy getting to know more about my family and maybe, just maybe, it will make you feel a little better about your own chaos.

Our family:

• myself, a full-time accountant and small-town girl
• my husband, Jack, a student/servant/farmer/truck driver and all-around good guy

our three daughters:

• Taylor (12) - sports-minded, mother hen, book-worm who's as well-behaved as we could have hoped.


• Lexi (10) - spirited (that's the best word I've found!), gymnast, who's never afraid to tell you what she thinks.


• Maddie (8) - kind-hearted, used to be sweet, well-liked and well-intended

they seem harmless enough, right?

and our dog:

• Lucy (3) - she's an english bulldog that likes to eat, sleep, and relieve herself in the front yard. I'm sure there will be more coming on that as the snow melts and Jack freaks out about the dead spots all over his lawn!

Oh, I got a runner (I'll explain more later). Gotta go!
