I've decided I'm a very jealous person. I have been blog stalking recently and I am so jealous of everyone's talent. the have so many "followers" and for good reason. They are witty, clever and can put into words what I only think but never say aloud or write down. So I am going to reinvent my blogging world. I want a blog worth reading. I mean, the silly things that the kids do are cute and all...but I always have some clever thought in my head that I want to share with people. The problem is I never write it down and then my thoughts are so fleeting, I forget what clever or interesting thought I had for the day was.
I'm still going to post about my cute little kidlets, but I'm also going to share more of my rants and raves and clever thoughts. Even if they are only clever to me.
I've decided I'm not opinionated enough. I'm always in the middle. I can see both sides of almost any issue, and I'm probably too easily swayed. That's why I would never be a good politician. But I am very glad there are people out there who are opinionated and aren't afraid to share what they think. I wish I was more self confident that way.
I didn't make any new year's resolutions. I usually don't. Simply because I know myself well enough to know that it doesn't change my behavior. In the past when I have set goals at the first of the year, I have already broken them all by Jan. 3rd. I'm no good at the whole resolution thing. So I just don't do it. But it's okay if you do. I wish I was more like that. but I'm not. I'm just trying to discover things about myself and like me the way that I am. and then maybe if I find something about myself that I particularly detest, then maybe I will have the gumption to try and change the thing about myself. Until then, I'm really just trying to love me the way I am now.
The ONE thing I am working on changing is obviously my talent for blogging. So, this is my first attempt at a post that is not primarily dedicated to the crazy antics of my children. Hopefully, I'll have something worth sharing once in a while from my rather mundane, military, suburban wife and mothering life.

- I never know what to write in these things. What's there to tell? I'm the wife of a wonderful man who is everything I ever wanted in a husband. He's my best friend. We've been married for 8 years. We have 4 children between us, but right now, I'm just in charge of our two little ones. The youngest of whom is going to preschool for the first time this year and my second youngest is starting kindergarten. Maybe by the end of the year, that box about my interests will be more "interesting" to read.

good start! I feel the same way you do about resolutions.
I think you are talented, clever and witty. So I'm glad to see more of that here!
Good for you Alicia! Opinions are meant to be spoken out loud... usually. I figure if you truly believe or think something you shouldn't be worried what others will think. I will be watching for your first rant.
Hey my darling daughter, I think you have many talents and one of them is writing. I think you are very clever, have a great sense of humor and you are genuine. I love you and I am looking forward to reading your rants, I still want to see pictures and news about my grandbabies too!
