I'm finally far enough from having a three year old to appreciate one!

Its been many years since I gave birth to my three kids. I did it the hard way too...3 in 18 months. (My twins were born when my son was 18 months). I came home from work via Wallyworld today, and after making my weekly deposit comparable to the national debt, honked my horn when I reached the driveway. My kids all know that is the signal mom gives when she wants help with groceries and they all came running, even the one home from college for the weekend. The surprise was that the little girl next door, who just turned a very cute three, also came running. She "helped" unload the car and then "helped" load the pantry, fridge and freezer. Her mother, who came running after her, assured me she does NOT help at home and even told her mom the last time she went shopping that the bread was too heavy and she couldn't carry it. Isn't it amazing how helpful kids are at other people's houses? And isn't she too cute for words?

What's wrong with this picture?

No doubt you've heard of many stories of phonies....phony policemen, phony doctors, etc. This one takes the cake! Click Here. Not only did the man con women into letting him perform breast examinations, but it seems he was only caught because he did not put on rubber gloves before performing a genital exam???? Your first thought, since its in Florida and Florida is known for its geriatric population might be that he was conning senile old women. That was my first thought. But no, this man managed to con at least two women in their 30's. Are we not educating our young women better than this? A door-to-door, breast examining doctor?

My First Ramblings.....

Blogging. Its something I've been thinking about, playing with and finally decided to do. Remember the first time you rode a bike (mine was a turquoise Schwinn Sting-Ray with high-rise handlbars, banana seat and a white basket with daisies on the front) and your dad let go of the back and you yelled "I'm doing it by myself!"? That's how I feel now.

I've been reading many blogs for the last several months and recognized the value in each...not just for the writer, but the readers and commenters as well. I've hesitated to start my own because I wasn't sure anything I had to say/write would be valuable in any way, but I've decided that is just crazy and like most things, I'm over analyzing. So here it is. Of course, even now, I'm reading back over this and wondering where the valuable part is. Hello blogging world!
