Why do I have a blog?


I’m never sure quite what to do with myself, when the house is relatively quiet and the chores are done. I suppose there’s always something to do if I go looking for it, but truth be told, I’m not feeling quite up to par, today. My immune system is very poor, this time of year, and it couldn’t hurt to give myself some time to myself.

To be quite honest, I’m not sure why I created a blog. I know some people create them to talk about their hobbies – crafting, scrapbooking, whatnot. I’m not so interesting, I’m afraid.

I have two children, Brendan and Sarah. They’ll be fourteen in March.

My husband, Gordon, and I have been married for almost sixteen years. He’s a good father; he does the best he can, despite being so busy with work. He drives the kids to all their lessons and sports on weekends, then comes home and marks papers for most of the afternoon, unless he’s needed to prepare anything on-campus.

Which is increasingly since the beginning of this semester. I don’t like to think of myself as a suspicious person, but the years in which he’s had a female TA, he seems to find plenty more reasons to go back to work on the weekends.

I’m sure I’m being ridiculous.

Somehow, I’ve managed to waste a full half-hour just typing this! Typing must not be my forte. The school bus should be here in about fifteen minutes or so, so I should get off this computer to leave free for the kids’ homework.
