Where has the time gone....?

So apparently it has been quite sometime since I last posted anything to this blog....but seems how I have zero followers and do most of my internet blathering on Facebook, I'm not really sure why I am bothering to write a post on a blog that no one reads. Ah, but here I am. It's quite something when I sit back and think about how drastically my life has changed since I last wrote on this blog. I have become a Mother. I carried, gave birth to, and now chase around a very active little girl who is over a year old! Everyone tells you life will never be the same after you have a child. They tell you to cherish every moment you have because it goes by so quick. They tell you that children are so much work but are so worth the investment. They tell you someday you will look back and these will be the best days of your life. And as I scrub blueberry stains out of little pants, and pick up all 25 napkin rings for the third time this morning, and survey the messy little kingdom that is my house, I agree with them. Life isn't and never will be the same, and the time is just flying by, and I know that these are the best days of my life. So I will do my best to revel in them, and enjoy them. Crushed Cheerios, tantrums, dirty diapers and all.

Fall is in the air...

So, this is my first blog-posting ever, so bear with me people... I was feeling a bit Fall-ish today and thought I'd revert back to my high school days and write a poem in honor of Fall. You are all welcome to laugh at my typos, mistakes and general cheesiness that I'm afraid will inevitably be a part of this rambling little sonnet.


Fall

Gray skies,
Pumpkin Pies,
Crisp Autumn air,
Leaves falling - everywhere!
Thanksgiving Day draws near,
Is it already this time of year?
Apples for baking,
Leaves for raking,
Time for maple syrup and candy?
Keep the napkins handy!
The harvesting has begun,
From rising to setting sun,
The cooking, baking and canning,
The get-togethers, the planning!
Drink in the sweetness of the air,
And of the time be ever aware,
For Fall shall quickly come and go,
Ushering in winter, ice and snow!



Ok, so that's all I have so far. I just wanted to give this blogging thing a try and if any of you have any pointers, helpful hints, critiques, etc. I'm all ears!

Blessings!
