I Did It!!

Well I figured it out...........I finally posted my blog, but unfortunately my day two comes before my day one.................who knew? I am always looking for some philosophical reasons why things happen.............I think I figured out this one...........if you notice..........If there is really anyone out there reading this blog................I think I identified myself best on day two............middle-aged and restless..........certainly not theYoung and the Restless..................That should be the name of this BLOG!!! Second day and I have had a eureka moment........

Any other middle-age and restless people out there???????

Day Two

While each day is the first day, this is day two of my blog. I am still very unsure as to what to do as yesterday's blog is not posted so I know I am doing something wrong. Checked out utube and found a video explaining how to start. I followed it exactly, not very hard, but it didn't work. I have a blog....just no posts. What's the point of that?



Here it is, Easter Sunday, and there was no celebration. No Easter egg hunt, no festivities. I made chicken for supper. That was a close to turkey as I got. With no kids around I didn't have the gumption to do anything to celebrate Easter. (OK...I did eat a chocolate Easter bunny a kindergarten student gave me at school)



Jennifer, my youngest (19!) will be home from school in England on April 11th so we are having our family Easter celebration that week-end on the 13th. My mom will be down so she will cook a fabulous meal.



Got lots of work done this week-end however. Made my "to do" list and actually followed it. Laundry finished , school work done, bills paid.....................Oh My God! On my second day I have turned this blog into something it is not supposed to be! I "googled" how to create a blog and the number one rule was not to be boring, a list of things you did all day is not of interest to anyone.....maybe 22nd century historians about how a typical middle-aged/restless/ mother/wife/woman lives?

First, First Day

This is the first day of the rest of my life............talk about a cliche! But that is exactly what it is. This is my first time ever blogging and I thought my blog should be more than just a diary or journal.........................more of a journey, to make my life better.





Not that my life if bad. I am a middle-aged (46....to the best of my recollection) mother of three children, happily married (most days) to a crazy guy that keeps me guessing all the time. My kids are all gone, out into the real world, making their own lives. (Well, sort of.....their own lives are on my buck) My two daughters are university students and my son is on his own, just starting his first permament full-time job on Monday!





While life is good, there is always room for improvement. After all these years, I am still watching the pennies (some days just dollars, which gets me in trouble) I am still watching my weight (watching it go up and up) and watching me huff and puff even more as I go up the stairs.



So while life is good, I want to make it better.......healthier, fitter, wiser, calmer, more satisfied.
