Muse

I don't know when I got the idea to blog...I've noticed a few of my friends starting and I guess I thought that while I'm checking email, facebook and doing just about everything else online....well, why not muse online too? 

The thought originated out of my complete lack of journaling throughout my life.  I have said so many times that I wish I would have "written that down".  I thought that perhaps this would be a neat way to actually account for some of the more interesting, funny and profound things that happen in my life, all while getting to dust off my writing skills!

I am a musician by trade.  Violinist.  When I decided to go into music, it was a tough decision between pursuing my love of journalism and writing, or pursuing music.  Needless to say, I am a much better musician than writer!  It all matters rather little now, as I am a professional mom and homeschooler..  Sure, my music and writing skills are valuable, but not nearly as valuable as my multi-tasking skills!  I have the equivalent to a post-doctorate in multi-tasking.

So, I am entering the blogging world as a means to muse on my days at home with 3 homeschooling children, as well as 3 preschoolers.  I am sure that some musings will be humorous, others not so funny, but I am hoping to discover and uncover more of myself in the process.

definition of "muse":    to think or meditate in silence, as on some subject
