My very first blog....

I'm sitting here listening to my dear daughter thump around in her bedroom, when she should be taking a nap.
I'm sitting here starting a blog and messing around on the computer when I should be cleaning my house. Is there a theme here? Life is always full of should be's.... but oh well.

So I have some blogs that I like to read. I've been following some for quite awhile, some not so long. Recently I've been deeply affected by the McClenahan's life thru their blog...which has told the sad story of their 11 month old Cora going to be with Jesus after a short battle with Neuroblastoma. It's just made my heart ache. I've cried some serious tears over this sweet girl. I think because she is the same age as my youngest.... I want to do anything I can to help this family. I've prayed my heart out. I want to help them get Cora's Playground built- the memorial they are planning in her honor. I want to give them hugs. I want to bake cookies for them. (That's what I do in a time of crisis. I bake). I don't know them personally so I probably won't be hugging them anytime soon... and I'm sure they would probably raise their eyebrows if a box of cookies showed up at the door from a stranger. So pray I will...and spread the word about Cora's Playground too. You can donate to it at http://www.gcc-online.org/ or you can go to http://www.etsy.com/ and search "cora paige" and buy something cute that has the proceeds going to the playground. I've even come up with a few things to post on there.

If I figure out how to put a little sidebar of blogs that I follow on this thing, I'll put the Mc's there.

At this rate I doubt my blog will get many readers... but you never know! I don't know how often I'll even get to post to it.... like I need anything else to give me A.D.D.... my daughters, my house, facebook, email, my travel business, my husband, etc. yeah theoretically my hands are full enough as is... but we'll see where this goes.

Have a Happy Valentine's Weekend....

Yay!! I'm so excited. A blog is a a good way to keep track of everything. There have been many times when I have thought, "When did Olivia do this or that?" Now, I just have to find a way to save it all. Love the title, by the way. Very clever!
