Day One

Okay, this is my first day as a blogger.  I'm not sure why anyone might want to read it, but we'll see!

First and foremost, I am a wife and mother.  Most of my waking, and a lot of sleeping, hours are spent taking care of,and thinking about, Charlie's stuff.  He is a folk artist, and also owns a remodeling and handyman business.  He has all kinds of talent, and I try to help keep everything running smoothly.  There are a whole lot of days that my name is simply "Charlie's Wife".

My other name is "Megan's Mom".  Yes, I know she's a grown up, doesn't need me, and all that, but I still need to be Mom.  I'm lucky that she helps me with the art business, because we get to spend a lot of time together.  I can honestly say she's my best friend.  Some days she's my only friend!

That's not quite true.  I have three dogs, and most of the time, they're very fond of me.  Today, maybe not so much.  I'm also a dog sitter, and this week we have a total of 6 dogs in the house.  It's first come, first served on laps and dog beds!

I'm really having a tough time writing this.  I absolutely can't imagine why anyone would be interested in what I have to say!  As a "woman of a certain age" (50), I've been taught to step back and not call attention to myself.  This whole blog idea runs counter to that.  I guess I'll just pretend I'm talking to myself, assume no one is reading, and use this as therapy.  God knows, I need it!
