Blogging in general

I've never been one to keep a journal. I've tried countless times to begin and I always set a goal of making an entry once a week, or some determined period of time. I always determine that I'm a failure for not "following through" and actually meeting my goal. So. This blog has no goal. No set posting dates, no plans for daily posts etc. The pressure is off. Since this will primarily be seen by only a few friends and maybe one or two family members, I'm not going to set myself up for failure again. Interesting to me that I feel like I do this in life too - my house is never clean enough, my crafts are never good enough etc. I need to get over it.

My mother is currently in the hospital with some cardiac issues. They originally checked her in with pneumonia, but then discovered some abnormalities in her cardiac tests (she has previous cardiac history). On Monday she goes in for a heart cath. We are hoping they can remove the blockage with the simple procedure. If not, she goes into the next room for a more significant surgery. She's scared, so is everyone else. We also hope this becomes a wake up call for her to take better care of herself.

Ethan and Lucas remain the cutest little boys on the planet with sunny dispositions and antics that make me laugh daily. Lots more to post about with those two.

I'll get the hang of this blogging thing sooner or later!
