She said...a little intro to "us"

Hello to all!!!  I would like to start by saying that this is my very first blog...ever, and I am a little nervous to say the least.  I have many worries going through my head...will I be too boring, what do I say, do I have the ability to be funny?  I have a friend who is a social media queen, she dominates Facebook by posting her every move throughout the day...I pretty much know what all of her meals look like before she eats them!!!  She has many blogs and is part of every social community out there.  She is constantly trying to get me to do more.  I haven't told her about this yet...she'll be so proud!  Don't get me wrong,  I've always been fascinated with the idea of sharing my thoughts and ideas to those that find them interesting, but at the same time, the idea is a little frightening...it's the perfect example of a situation where you are "really putting yourself out there".  But I thought to myself, now is the perfect time if I am going to do this.  My kids are peacefully sleeping...including my husband who fell asleep on the couch beside me at least an hour ago, and here I am, left with my thoughts, and one of my favourite shows "Hart of Dixie".  Of course I had to pause it on my PVR, or should I say my lifeline,  in order take time to get this started!  When my hubby falls asleep, it's an hour that I love by myself.  We enjoy many TV shows together, but this was one that he was happy to check out of.

As was mentioned in our little description, this blog is going to be a joint effort.  My hubby and I decided that creating a blog together could be healthy for our relationship...we'll see!!  Life is busy with two kids and two working parents.  I am blessed to only work part time, while I spend the other half at home with our youngest.  But still...all you parents out there know what it's like...as moms and dads, we are constantly wearing so many hats (parent, employee, taxi driver, coach, sibling, son, daughter, housekeeper, nurse etc...) that sometimes we forget the one that says, "husband" and "wife". We don't take enough time for each other these days, and we really feel the effects on our personal relationship.  In one of our recent conversations, as we were wearing our "husband" and "wife" hat, we concluded that the only time we really have to dedicate to each other is pretty much everyday after 8:30pm, when the kids are finally asleep.  What do you do at 8:30pm on a Tuesday when you both have to work the next morning?  Well...that's when we came up with this little brilliant idea...let's blog together!  There are so any instances in life where husband and wives disagree on very small and very large everyday issues...whether it be a major purchase or simply deciding on what to have for dinner.  We each have our own perspectives and our own very strong opinions...lol...and sometimes we don't take the time to really talk about them, which can create tension.  So, our idea is to blog about such instances...we thought it was perfect...we could write her side/his side about the things/situations that make us happy, sad or crazy, and share them with each other while sharing them with all of you!   Of course, "his side" is going to have to get on here much earlier in the evening if this is really going to work!  I guess working in construction and landscaping doesn't go hand in hand with late night blogging.  I set up this page days ago, so I told him I would take the first shift...I'll have to let him know he's on deck in the morning :)

I am going to finish by saying...I love my husband...but I don't think there's another person in the world that can drive me crazy, in good ways and bad, more than him.  I'm sure you will see that sentiment reflected on here from time to time...lol!!

Goodnight!
