My First Blog...

Don't know a whole lot about blogging. And probably don't have time to do this on a daily basis. Plus I like to maintain some sort of privacy for me and my family so I don't know how much I'll even use this. But nonetheless, I wanted to 'secure' a site for me in the off-chance that one day I decide to blog away....

In any case, here I am. I am what you can call an "older" first-time mommy.  I had my son when I was 42. Hey, what can I say but I started this home-life late in life. Met my husband at 38, got married at 40 and had a kid at 42.  Yes, I admit that sometimes (many more than others) I'm absolutely exhausted and don't know if I can do this raising-a-kid-thing at my age. Having a almost 2-year old toddler is an experience like no other. Everyday there is laughter, amazement and the stress of dealing with a little person. All the while, working and trying to maintain a homelife for the three of us. And needing my alone time (which doesn't seem to happen anymore), my social playtime with the girls (which doesn't happen nearly as much as I feel I 'need' it), my alone time with the hubby (which we try to have as much as possible), and let's not forget time with my single friends (which unfortunately just doesn't happen these days).

So this is where I am now.  More to follow....got work to do at the office...
