Why am I doing this?

I really enjoy reading blogs!  I read blogs of family members, friends and occasionally complete strangers with really creative ideas.  I check these blogs often and enjoy following the daily, weekly and/ or monthly activities of these bloggers.  I actually created this blog in January and then thought to myself, "what's so exciting about my daily life?", "who really cares about what I think and do?".  I let these thoughts and feelings win and deleted the blog.  Fast forward to September and I began thinking daily about what I would write on a blog if I had one.  I found myself mentally writing posts and never actually putting them on a blog.  I also didn't want to create a blog just because every one else was doing it.  So I'm writing this blog as a creative outlet, to keep family members who live far away connected to our daily lives, and as a record of thoughts, feelings and events from our family.  I am also hoping to break my addiction of Facebook and maybe this will allow me to connect with family and friends without informing the whole Facebook community of our daily acitvities :)  We'll see!  So... here it goes... insecurities, bad grammar, and all!
