So I've decided to resume writing this blog, even if no one is reading it. Why? Because I need to write! I have a journal, but I never carry it with me and frankly, I don't write as much when I'm handwriting because I'm lazy. There it is. That's why I don't write more.
But typing? I'm a whiz at typing. I type way faster than I write and it's easier to read! Now I have to pick something to write about. I'll start with something I think about all the time - my daughters.
It's been a while since I really sat down and put to paper how crazy in love I am with being a mother - and especially to the incredibly awesome daughters I have. All three of them are so strong and unique and capable of ruling the world. I can't take credit because I honestly don't know what I'm doing when it comes to "adulting", but somehow they've managed to all be very interesting people with lots of promise in their futures. All three of them are A students. All three of them love to read. All three of them have dreams and goals and actually have plans as to how they're going to get there. It's insane!
Right this minute, my oldest daughter is in Vietnam with her international school on a world service project. Seriously! She got there yesterday and the group has a blog of their own set up, but they've only posted one thing and it was that they were at the gate at the airport. I don't care! What's going on in Nam??!! I can't wait for her to come home so I can hear all about what her adventure was like. She's such a cool kid. She's an example to everyone around her when it comes to self discipline, working hard and how to be a loving person. She's not perfect - she's also a teenager who's still learning how life works, but she's a very "put together" teenager who has accomplished much more in he 16 years than I had at that age!
My middle daughter is coming into her own when it comes to her grades and time management. She's like her mother when it comes to having the "lazy bone" and doesn't like early mornings or things that are difficult - but this past school year, she really hopped to and got it done. She managed straight A's throughout the school year while also participating in several extra-curricular activities including gymnastics, track and cross-country. She also worked really hard in theatre, which is something I think she's going to stick with when she gets to Europe for high school.
Then there's my youngest and she's just as Alpha as the first one. Today, she's actually going to setting up a lemonade stand with a friend of hers, and they're going to sell lemonade and water bottles by the neighborhood pool. She's been planning this since before school let out and used all her own money for the start-up costs. She loves math, so this was right up her alley. Only ten years old and already she's starting up her first business! I can't wait to see how it goes for them this afternoon. If she sells all her inventory, she'll have made almost $50. Not bad scratch for a soon-to-be fifth grader!
That's all I have for now. I look forward to getting back into the habit of writing a little bit every day. I'm trying to get in the right mindset for when I start back on my book I started last year, but was unable to finish due to my shift in career choices. I've been reading more and more now, and it's spurring me on to want to write again. I hope to gain more followers on here as time goes on. Feel free to leave questions you might have in the comments, and I'll answer them. It'll give me more to write about!
