And So It Begins...

This is an attempt to work out my thoughts and feelings on various subjects. Somewhere to write down my ideas and dreams. I always seem to have so much going on in my head, and I can't manage to separate one thing from another in order to do anything with any ONE thing. So I will use this space to separate out those things. But first...a little bit about me...

My DH (Dear Husband) and I have been married just over 14 years. We have 3 children, all girls. The oldest will be graduating high school in 2 years, and the 2 younger ones are still in elementary school. So we still have a ways to go to get our kids raised.
We live out in the country on 5 acres of mostly wooded land, and we LOVE it here! I have so many thoughts and ideas of what I would like to do with this place...but that's for later.
Anyway, I'm what most people would call a Stay-At-Home-Mom (SAHM), but I'm so much more than that. I am a SHE. A Sidetracked Home Executive. What that means is that I am the manager of a home. I am the CEO of my own little company. I am also the CFO, the Executive Chef, Head of Housekeeping, Chief Transportation Officer. I oversee every aspect of the running of a very fragile corporation. The pay isn't what it could be...kinda difficult to barter goods and services in hugs and kisses, but it works for me. The "Sidetracked" part of my title is because with so much going on, it's easy to loose focus on what needs to get done each day, so I become sidetracked. Thank goodness for Marla Ciliey, aka: The FlyLady! You could call her my Personal Consultant. When something isn't going right in my home, I turn to her for advice. I found her at http://www.flylady.net/.

So that's me in a nutshell. It's time for me to get back to work right now. I have things that I need to do before I can allow myself more time on the computer. In my business, the computer can be a REAL problem. Talk about getting sidetracked! More later when I have some "ME" time!
