First Public Writing

I have always loved to write. It is a perfect past time while the girls are doing their own thing and when I don't want to read who is dating who, who ate what and should I chose this picture or that picture mambo jumbo on social media. Today I finally decided to try out the blogging life and to give a little more meaning to my writings. Especially on days like today where once again it is boring and wet outside.

This whole summer season so far as been wet and even chilly. Days like today we can't just go outside and play without getting muddy and wet. Don't get me wrong, we don't mind mud but when I also have two other dogs that I am watching until the end of next week, you can imagine how much cleaning up and wiping down that I have to do to everyone on the daily. So we are stuck inside for at least most of the morning and the girls get so sick of each other so fast. They go from playing nicely, to fighting over a toy that neither one of them have played with since it was bought, to chasing each other around playing tag to sitting on each others backs just to see how cries first. Sometimes I surrender and give them my phone so that they can watch Netflix but even then it only lasts a few minutes until someone tries to take the phone and run, change the show or the get annoyed with how close they are to each other. Typical girls I suppose. Growing up, I had five sisters and we never got along. We were the same way if not worse. We would always fight over the one bathroom, purposely poke fun at each other and would love pushing each others buttons but we did love each other. I know they love each other but it gets stressful hearing the same tattles and whines over and over again. I am a stay at home mom, I know it is what I do and I truthfully wouldn't change it for the world. Saving money and being able to teach them and to watch them grow first hand is such a blessing.

Summer is just beginning and now that they are another year older, we get to do more and more with them and they are so excited. Like going to the zoo again and to take them to Kneobels. I love that we are able to do these types of things with our children. Growing up, we only ever went on one "vacation" and I wouldn't necessarily call it a vacation because we went to Buffalo and stayed at a few hotels with pools and then we went to Niagara Falls and came home. Every few summers we would go to Kneobels as well. Growing up wasn't much fun with a big family as much as everyone thinks. Mom always worked and siblings always watched us. So I am looking forward to my children growing up and to having a childhood that they will always remember.
