Go to Sleep

I never knew that my inability to go to sleep as a child would come around to bite me in the @#$$. When I was a little girl, I shared a room with my sister. We would stay up talking and laughing way past bed time. Mom and Dad would tell us to be quiet over and over. Finally Dad would threaten us with a spanking and we would go to sleep. Well now I am apologizing to my parents. My twins will not go to bed at night. They stay up laughing and talking. Now I am the frustrated one who can't get the children to bed. I know that my sister and I have remained best friends through all our late night talks. I only hope the same will be said for my boys.

My ideas and some stuff

I have read so many weblogs during the past few months that I decided it was time to start one myself. I love to write but not on paper. My HS English teacher encouraged me to write daily as a way to make it better so this will be a great way to do it. What does a mom have to write about? Changing diapers, sibling fights, cooking dinner, how to make the world better for my kids. I guess if God and I are the only ones who hear my thoughts then it will be a success.
