Shall we begin?

Hi, guys!  My name is Mom, and this is my first attempt at blogging.  Now that I am sitting down and actually writing, I'm encounting the frustratingest case of writer's block.

Why should I blog, and what is Randomly Mom all about?  I blog because I am going through this crazy thing called life, and so are all of you.  I am Randomly Mom, because that best describes how I am going through life.  I tried to think of another way to describe myself and my blog, and here are some of my ideas:  not-together mom, confessions of a mom, mom redemption, grace under fire, etc.

The way I see it, a lot of the time, the media portrays moms as women who have it all together.  The house looks great.  She is organized.  The kids and hubs are happy and fed 5-10 veggies per day.  Outside her house looks like a "Southern Living" spread.  She's not blogging at 7:45 when she should be getting everything ready to go tomorrow and getting her children in bed.

Well, that simply is not me.  Bless my heart, I do my best.  Random?  Oh, yeah....I've got the most random, global personality on the planet.  My bff, Gigi, can attest to that. 

Before I start a chore, I am side-tracked with five other things that must be done.  Read 7 Habits of Highly Effective People?  I've actually tried that.  I stopped midway through and cleaned my sink.

OK, enough about me.  How about you? 

Well, really, I've got to get children to bed.  More to come....  Love, Mom.
