My very first blog.

After reading a few blogs I have decided to create one myself. Now, I am not a creative writer as some of the blogs that I have read in the past, but I have decided that this might be a good way to get out some of those feelings that sometimes really get to us.

My husband and I decided to have a cookout for Labor Day. We always get excited to have a party and have everyone over, but then I always get stressed out the day before. I know that I shouldn't worry about every little detail so much, but that is a trait of mine that I just can't get rid of. And of course, here I am creating my first blog when I could be doing something else like vacuuming. I have been working so hard all day, pulling weeds, scrubbing patio furniture, cleaning the inside of my house.

It doesn't help that my little girl, who is 5 months old, has been so crabby today. Sometimes I wonder to myself if I am doing anything right. She has been giving me such a hard time with everything. She only wants to spend 5 minutes at a time doing something. First it is five minutes on the floor, then 5 minutes in the swing, then 5 minutes in the jumparoo. She will only spend about 5 minutes (if I am lucky) trying to eat because then she realizes that she is so hungry that only the bottle will satisfy her and she will not give her baby food a second look. She will scream until I have that bottle in her mouth!

I hate to sound so ungrateful for the beautiful, healthy wonderful person that I have been so blessed with. She really is the greatest gift I could ever have been given, but sometimes she really makes me want to pull my hair out...(and she is only 5 months old). I know that it only gets better!!
