Dipping my toes in the web

A very interesting thing happened today. I started reading blogs. I had read one here or there that a friend or relative sent me a link to, but just to read several for the fun of it was a new thing. So my daughter decided I needed to venture into this new thing myself and got me all set up.

The first thing I had to do was the "About Me" section. Hmmm. How do I describe me? It is interesting what we learn about ourselves when we have to describe ourselves. My first thought was "homeschooling mom". Yes, that's true----for 19 years now. I guess the way you spend your time and and a lot of your money defines you to a great extent. But is that all I am? I used to have interests and a name other than Mama. I assume that one day I'll have those again, but in this season (which has been a very long season and has at least 6 more years to go) that's who I am first and foremost.

I am also a conservative with Libertarian leanings, a Baptist (with Methodist background), an Aggie, a student of history, a lover of fiction, a cook, a scrapbooker, a quilter (wanna be), a wife, a church volunteer, a handbell player, a football mom, and many other things.

I guess mostly this will be about the daily life of a homeschooling mom and church volunteer. I hope it will be funny, helpful, maybe even inspiring from time to time. I may share scriptures that speak to me, recipes, or whatever peaks my interest. I may go off on political opinions from time to time. I will probably list curriculum and "school" books and misc. for sale.

This will be a grand adventure for me. Perhaps a few folks will come along for the ride.
