Blank Page

So while I actually created this blog over a week ago and had the best of intentions, I have until now failed at writing anything. More than once I have sat down at the computer just trying to think of something clever or witty to say to get this thing started and have been defeated by the overwhelming power of the blank page. Of course it doesn't help that my kids and I have spent the last week being sick with a virus.

I haven't even decided what kind of blog I want to create. I love reading blogs that are funny and entertaining, but unfortunately I don't find myself that humorous. I also read quite a few blogs that are completely based on a particular subject and have thought about spending my time writing about school, education or politics. However, I am not even that interested in those topics to write about it on a daily or even weekly basis so I kinda doubt anyone else would want to read about it either.

I am a big reader, or rather I used to be before I had kids. One of my all time favorites is the Anne of Green Gables series. I have always remembered something Gilbert told Anne and that was to write about something she knows. At this point in my life it seems that all I really know anymore is my kids and my family. I spend almost all of my time with my kids or doing things for my family. So it is most likely that majority of what I write will revolve around them. Fortunately for me my kids are still to young to be embarassed by the many stories I can tell about them. So at least that is one topic I am safe discussing, for the time being that is, lol.
