First of all, why am I here?  What prompted this blog?  I wanted to 1) find a new outlet for writing and challenge myself to do something new; and 2) I wanted a place to talk about how crazy life is trying to raise teenagers.  The title is prompted by the fact that I say this quite often and also that I’m either texting or calling to see where the kids are or if they’re ready to be picked up, etc.  It’s about communicating, trying to remain close while mentally moving away; and a little about the end destination:  i.e., the girls going off to college and me being home to an empty nest.  So this blog, I hope, will help me to come to terms with all of this. 

About me:  I’m a 40-something mom who’s just trying to keep up with everything….even techie gadgets.  I like the challenge and I am up for it!  I enjoy writing, reading old English novelists (Austen, Bronte), as well as what the teens find popular (the Twilight Series); mountain biking with my husband, playing piano and learning the electric bass.  By far, the most important thing in my life…is Christ and knowing Him.  My faith is what keeps me going through this rollercoaster life.  

So there you have it: a little about me and my blog.  I hope you’ll visit and visit often.  Hopefully you will be encouraged by what you find here.  And I hope you’ll share your stories as well. 

Love and blessings,

Jenn
