I'm doing what you are doing...

This is about one of those things that you don't find in any parenting book, or hear about in any parenting class. I think this is one of those cruel jokes that other parents have... they have been through it; they know you are going to go through it... and they stay silent, sit back, and watch with a grin on their face. It hits when the kids are about 3 1/2 years or so. So if yours are younger... be forewarned.

Oh sure... it's cute for the first week. Oh sure... it makes you feel good that your kid likes what you like, and wants to follow in your footsteps... for the second week. But now I'm on MONTH four, and it really gets on your nerves sometimes. It has many names... "I'm eating what you are eating", "I'm watching what you are watching", "I'm what you are ". Where was that independence you showed just 5 months ago? 

Nobody told me I was going to have to act like I was sleeping at 8:30pm just so my kid thought I was, and would do the same. Ahh... the joys of being a parent.

And a blog was born...

Hello world. That seems like the appropriate opening to a brand new blog in cyberspace. It is definitely more appropriate than "How now brown cow". This is my first blog, at least my first personal blog. I figured that contributing to other people's blogs was good, but having my own is better.

So let me say "Welcome!" to all.
