Let's give this a whirl!

This should be fun...we'll see! I've always been horrible at writing things down, always saying to myself, "I need to write that down before I forget", and then I don't. Or I do, and then misplace what I wrote, because how hard is it to just write it all in one place? Whatever!
When I was pregnant with Ruthi, I kept an online journal. It was a lot of fun and was a tremendous help to me in documenting the details. And I find myself much more willing to type than write. I did pretty good the first year of her life writing things she did on the calendar. But then I fell back into my old ways. So I thought I'd give this a shot and maybe get back on track with myself and hopefully have a little fun in the process. And for family and friends who are interested, you can keep up too!
Our life is quite normal, and not that exciting, but I do want to be able to remember things so I can scrapbook them when I have the time so our children and grandchildren will be able to look back on it when we are gone or just too old to remember!

Now let's see how well I can keep up with this thing! Oh, I already know it won't be every day!

And there's nothing exciting going on today. My car is getting new tires, as we had a flat yesterday leaving the mall. Of course, it didn't happen until after we got on the busy highway instead of conveniently in the mall parking lot. So the kids and I are sitting on the side of the road patiently waiting. A nice gentleman stopped behind us to help block traffic and proceeded to help Chip change the tire.

Then we headed to Chuck E. Cheese for some pizza and fun. Ruthi seemed to think that since she had been there before, everything was now hers! She'd fuss if a kid was on something she wanted on.

And in the little climb/play/slide area, she'd take off as fast as she could go to the slide if another kid came in, as if to claim it hers! She even gave a little girl a push down the slide because she was in her way. Oh my, what are we going to do with her? But she did have
a great time, and so did we,in spite of all the noise!

These pictures are not from last night, but from our first visit. I forgot my camera last night.
