Who Am I?

So, I have tried this blogging thing before. I was great at it, but life kept getting in the way. Ha... me, too busy to blab? It's true. It can happen.

But I have come to recognize that there are some very good reasons out there to blog:

1. I have a lot to say, and I need an outlet. My writing business only allows me to talk about my clients business... I have plenty to speak about my own world.
2. Family. My family lives all over the place... Alabama, Indiana, Maryland, Georgia... keeping everyone in the loop is hard... some have the right email... some have another one... I just need a central location for everyone!
3. I want to keep track of my kids' lives.
4. I love my computer... believe it or not, it is easier to blog than to keep a written journal.
5. Just cuz I'm good like that... :)

So, just who am I? I am a wife and mother, a teacher, a healer, a superwoman, a fighter... all wrapped up in a plump chocolate package. My husband and I are the proud parents of three girls, ages 10, 8, and 3. We both teach... so as you might imagine, this time of year is a little tough. :) We live in Beaufort, SC where we tend to take the sand and surf of the coast a bit for granted.

In our spare time, Mike and I write, edit, and do other freelance things. We are slowly building our business there so that I can possibly work from home in a few years. Believe it or not, I do have the pseudo dream of a nuclear family... where the mom is home with cookies and milk when the kids come in from school... reads the kids bedtime stories, and tucks them in. Right now, that's not gonna happen in my world... but I can Deedream...
