It's Tuesday, Day 2 of the Diet and a bit of a rainy day. I had fun with Ben today. We bought him some stacking cups and it amused him for a good part of the afternoon. I wonder what his first memory will be. My first is walking downstairs in the house I grew up in and walking into a sun-flooded living room where my grandmother was watching TV with my 2 cousins. I was pulling a wooden dog on wheels with a long yellow plastic lead. I remember my Gran saying, "Well, now, look who woke up!" It's a good memory. She passed away in 1998 and I still miss her, guess I always will.

I've been watching the Olympics every night. I get so emotionally involved although the events happened a day ago. I love when they show the athlete's mom with her heart on her face. I want everyone to win. But life doesn't work like that.

And So It Begins

This is my first post and I have some things to say. First of all, thanks for reading this. I have a lot of interests and have spent many hours nursing my son and reading all kinds of things on the Net. There have to be many people out there like me who enjoy finding good recipes, cool ideas for the home, reading about current political debate and learning about great new books to explore. It's a lot of fun being a mom but it's a lot of juggling too and you have to learn a hard lesson - you come second ( at best) now and you have to constantly figure out what the priority is ( your bladder or the baby's?). I like to read other mommy bloggers too so I can learn from them and see that I'm not alone.
