Testing....testing...Is this thing on?

Hey all!
I am new to the blog world...I've only ever followed one blog religiously, and that was just about a month ago when I found Mama Laughlin on pinterest...and it led me to her blog. Well right off the bat, I loved her! She's hilarious, and honest! ...and I feel I can relate to her on a bunch of levels...she's a mom, and she is striving to make herself better through exercise and better eating...which is what I have struggled with...my weight...(more about that another day...)
Anyways, after reading her blog posts, I thought, 'hey, I wanna do this! I wanna write an online diary, to share with others...! (hopefully!)
So let me start by introducing myself... I am 33...I am a mom of a 6 year old boy...and I do home child care (going on 13 years...) I'm not really sure what else to say about myself...It's hard to describe yourself! I've always been a pretty happy person in general, but I've taken on a new motto...We're here for a good time...not a long time. And this is so true...a girl I went to school with/worked with at the Pizza Hut after school in high school and friended on facebook died a few years ago of a vicious form of cancer... and she chose THAT song to be played at the end of her funeral...I didn't attend the funeral, but her song choice affected me, and has made me want to see the world through different eyes...although it's hard with the things that have happened lately (train wrecks in Spain and Quebec, marathon bombings...) I am damn well gonna try!
Anyways, (I say that a lot...) nap time is just about over, soooo...so is break time!
