The List Begins

My husband has been telling me to start a blog for nearly 4 years. I kept putting him off for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that I didn’t want to have one of those blogs that has two or three entries, months apart that is ultimately abandoned like a rusty car body off the side of a highway. He thought as a would-be-writer, it would provide me with an outlet for my words and at least get me writing, which is more than was typical. Then I decided I should reconsider the idea, right around the time my daughter was born. As it turns out, a baby who eats every two hours and sleeps for no more than 3 or 4 hours at a time is not compatible with starting a regular blog. Just after the New Year, I thought about it again. But only briefly, given that my primary focus became trying to get my then 7 month old to sleep more than 3 hours at a stretch at night, so that I could do likewise. Now at 11 months she is finally sleeping most nights and I find myself with some free time in the evenings, so the time has finally come.
