Off to a Bad Start

Before I even have a chance to start a blog, I'm already behind. School has taken over much of my free time. Even now sitting and typing this I am thinking in the back of my head, "I need to finish laundry, pack bag for class tonight, do homework for tomorrow..." and so my life goes. My husband Jay is always asking me, "What's the plan for today?" And my answer seems to always be the same. I guess this is what adulthood is like. Emma is getting to such a great stage now. We still are dealing with teething troubles, but it is well worth it to see her grow and become Emma, not just the little newborn. Evonne came over to take her 6 months pictures and it was so difficult getting her to focus. She is into everything. I wonder where she gets that from...(her dad, in case you were wondering). I guess she'll have my looks and her dad's personality...uh oh.

Not enough to make this much fancier but I will get better at this, promise!

Title that Lacks Creativity

I have wanted to do a blog ever since I became a mom. Partly because of all the free time I have and partly because keeping a diary is so 1990's. When I saw that pretty much every female on Jay's side of the family kept a blog, I went ahead and caved. Before I thought blogs were laughable. I mean, how vain to think that others would be interested in what I would have to say. But from looking at a few people's, there's more to it. Still haven't decided if I will advertise that I have a blog. I would like for this to be a means to express thoughts or vent if I need to. That may include putting personal things up and what if that gets ugly? NOT saying this will be all drama, but I want to do more than "Today I went to the groceries..." Maybe this will be the only blog I do. I guess I'll just cross that bridge when I come to it.

Picking the title was quite a challenge. Jay suggested Rachel's Blog, which almost won. I decided on something cheesy. For some reason I still try to hide how cheesy I can be. I might as well own it. I am a cheesy person. I enjoy word play and dumb jokes. All I can do is hope Emma shares my same sense of humor so that I'll have someone to laugh at my jokes because Jay just rolls his eyes at me (I know he's laughing inside). I don't want to write too much so I'll call it quits for now. I don't know if I'm supposed to have some sort of good bye or just quit writing
