Better Late Than Never

My first entry... what should I write? Well, maybe I should start by saying that I plan to be more consistent and diligent this go round with blogging. In my last attempt, I only made 2 entries in a year. I had hopes to start this blog on January 1, but I am late as usual. Oh well...

My DH seems to understand my "lateness", even though it is his greatest pet peeve. He has even made the observation that my reluctance to just sit down and blog is a result of my perfectionism... if I can't do it perfect, then why take the time? So instead, I procrastinate. Over the years, I have come to realize that there is a direct correlation between my perfectionist tendencies and my procrastination. I put off things until I feel that I have enough time to do them 'right'. Ha! With homeschooling 2 children and running a household, when will I ever have enough time?

So here I am with a new perspective. I am determined to share my joys and struggles, to capture the moments of life with my precious family and friends, even if I don't express my thoughts exactly the way I want. Now, I may read this entry 3 or 4 times before I finally decide to publish it (sick, isn't it?), but hopefully with time, I will just put it out there without a second thought... or maybe just one proofread.

So, for those of you who may find yourself reading my blog, I hope that you will be blessed, even if it is just to laugh at how ridiculous I can be...
