Why ya gotta be so cool?

Ok, I am so NOT cool enough to be a blogger.  I read my friends' blogs of course, but I also read craft blogs and cooking blogs.  That is my niche I suppose.  One lady has 7 kids, another... 11!  One lady does 100 days with no processed foods, not so much as cake for the kids at a birthday party.  They make these beautiful "easy" crafts that never turn out that way when I do them.  I never see a single weed in the garden blogs.  In my garden you can barely see the vegetables amongst all the weeds.  Oh, and the pictures are always perfect.  Seriously, who are these people?  I am pretty sure they must be robots.  I mean I only have 3 kids and can barely find the time to blog.

Ok, so we know I am not octomom, with the manicured garden, immaculate home, Martha Stewart's worst enemy that somehow finds the time to blog so, who the heck am I?  I am a wife and mother of 3.  I do not home school.  I would never home school.  If anything I am anti home school.  I have never met a home schooler that isn't a Christian through an through.  What the heck is up with that?  Don't get me wrong, I know Jews, Muslims, and a ton of atheists, but NONE of them home school, only the Christians.  What ever happened to living in the world people?  You can tell me I am wrong until you are blue in the face and the face of the matter is I became a Christian, because a family of strong Christians left their girls in the public schools system to be a light in the world.  One of those girls was my best friend.  I think my train of thought might have been diverted to a soap box so, I will leave that for another post.  My apologies, ANYWAY where was I?  Oh yes, who am I?  I am an active member of the PTA.  I raise my hand to volunteer WAY more than a normal sane person would.  I love photography, unfortunately my refurbished SLR only works when it wants to.  Other times it argues with me about shutter speed and won't let me change it.  Again, I digress, I lead a Girl Scout troop.  The girls in my troop will be in 4th and 5th grade next year.  They are very near and dear to my heart.  They all love scouting and have asked if I will continue the troop even if my daughter decides she doesn't want to continue.  Basically, I am stuck here for awhile.  I go to a church where I am crazy about the teaching, but not much else.  I miss the community of our old church, but not the teaching.  Guess you can't have it all.  My house is a mess, ALWAYS.  I have been cleaning for 2 days for company coming this week.  You could never tell.  I admit to being a little lazy.  I have little self confidence.  But I am a great cook.  The things I make usually are not pretty, but they taste good so, who cares right?  I miss being around animals all the time.  Due to my husbands new allergies we no longer have any furry pets.  Of course, this weekend I am pet sitting 4 dogs, 4 birds and 2 turtles so, I will save this complaint for another times.  I am tired and I am broke, but somehow I am basically happy.  Sorry, this is a no drama mama here.  So, if that is what you are looking for in a blog, keep it moving.

So, I am not as awesome or cool as most bloggers, but I only have one follower so, who really cares right?  Besides, when all is said and done I do this for myself and no one else.  I love to reminise about things that happened, dreams I had, and even thoughts I had.  So, here is to me, I am a weedy garden, but atleast one person loves me!
