I'm Blogging!

Okay, this is new territory for me. A blog! I've moved into the 21st century! My kids have blogs. They are quite impressive: lots of beautiful pictures, sound clips, and very intelligent sounding essays. I don't think I'll be able to compete. I think what I'll do here is just use this blog to record some of the random musings of a homeschooling mom of eight kids. Maybe my latest pet peeve will show up here, maybe a favorite recipe or two, and very occassionally something really worthwhile! I used to write a lot, now it seems my brain is somewhat numb and drained of the creative juices that used to flow through there. I'm hoping that maybe, just maybe, I can get past some of my mental inertia and get some thoughts on "paper" once again. So, I guess this is something of a warning: what follows may or may not benefit you, the reader. It's just the outworking of my personal mental therapy!
