Hello world, I'm here.

Well, I'm here. In the world of blog. Why? I'm not sure. A co-worker laughed at the idea and my husband even gave me a chuckle (I know what he was thinking, that I'm always wanting to try whatever is new or cool, ie facebook). Why is it funny that I would want to create a blog? And seriously why I am doing this? Will I even keep it current? Who knows. And let's just say now that I don't have good grammer and I can't spell....

I've been reading several different blogs lately. I think that is part of the reason I find myself here. A friend of a friend, recently lost his wife. I had been reading his blog on and off for over a year to follow updates on his wife's battle with cancer. And now, I find myself reading his blog and crying for him and his children as he deals with life without her. Heartbreaking. Another blog I read is an acquaintance that is dealing with her son's battle with cancer. Again, heartbreaking. But what both of these have taught me...... To treasure every moment. every single day.

So I come to this place, this blog world. In a hope to remind myself to not sweat the small stuff. To make the most of every day. I tend to be a person that gets caught up worrying about the small stuff...I get bent out of shape by the small stuff sometimes, I admit it. So maybe this will be my retreat. My therapy (jeez, we all need it).

Oh, and I have to mention the other blog that I have become addicted to....donna....we lived by each other as kids. Haven't seen each other in 20 years and just reunited on facebook. Now I read her blog and I feel like I know all about her and her family. It's awesome. She's a great writer too, so fun to read. So maybe I'll return the favor to her and other friends and share some of my life!!

Anyway, that's why I'm here...just to write. Maybe tell you what's happening in my life, share a story, maybe I'll complain about something who knows.

OH, the name of the blog....mrc4me..... well, Madison's intial's are MRC and my hubby is known at his school (he's a 3rd grade teacher) as Mr. C, so MRC 4 me. And no, we didn't plan her intials that way. We didn't realize it until afterwards!

Ok, have to get to bed early. tomorrow is day #2 of school, mommy can't be cranky...and belive me she will be. More on school later.

Oh yeah, and the growing up part ... love that! You will forever be in my heart, childhood- teenage memories are the best! Wouldn't change a thing!
