Starting Where I am . . .

So I have thought about starting a blog for a while.  Just could not get past what to blog about the first time.  I tell you if I had a nickel for every time something blog-worthy happened and I said to my honey, "Honey, I would definitely blog about that if I had a blog!"  Just counting up all those nickels in my head right now, I think that I would have at least an extra buck-fifty right now.  I got real excited when I discovered that Blurb would print your blog into a hard bound book.  Thought it was pretty nifty how Wordle will take all the words in your blog and make a picture for you, complete with bigger size words for the ones you use most often.  Still the question remained, where do I start?  With 4 kids there is an endless amount of subject matter.  In order to protect the innocent I will refer to them as #1, #2, #3 and #4 :)

 #4 does lots of cute things, she is only 3 everything she does and says is cute.  See?

#3 cracks me up regularly.  He mostly runs around and eats fruit and meat.  In fact just today he polished off 3 bananas. 

 #2 is always busy creating lego masterpieces.  He is after all a "Lego Artist". 

But #1 did the thing, the most blog-worthy thing ever.  The thing that is causing me to stay up until 1:00 am on a school nite and figure out just exactly how does this blog posting work??  Anyway a few weeks ago I found a "Voters Guide to the Candidates" laying around the house.  I was in full "pick up the house" mode and I almost pitched it right then and there.  But then I saw that #1 had actually read the voters guide and filled out the survey on the back page.  She answered all the questions what did you like best about this guide, what did you like least, etc.  But the last question asked "What one improvement would you suggest for this guide?"

Her answer was "their most embarrasing moment".
  When I read that I was immediately reminded of what it is like to be an 11 year old girl and how still at 40 (yikes!) I would like to know the candidates most embarrassing moment too!  So on this Election Night Eve 2008, that is what I find myself wondering.
