How did I get here?

That's exactly what I am thinking right now.  I have tried this blogging thing before and failed miserably.  I am not a writer; I am a science teacher.  But I need to have a way to record my life.  The things I like, the things that I try.  I feel like someone out there wants to hear about all that I have to offer.  I don't really know who though.

What is this blog going to be about?  Well just about anything and everything.  I am a mom of two, teacher, wife, weight watchers leader, and a female.  So that gives me so many options of things to talk about.  So join me on this crazy roller coaster called life.

Macy and I

Let me start by introducing you to the characters in this play.  My name is Meridith-33 (for a little bit longer!)

Macy is 4 years old and as spunky as can be.  She is getting ready to start playing soccer and baseball this spring.  She can have some shyness, so hopefully this won't scar her for life.  This is a picture of here a couple of years ago at a Fourth of July festival in our town.  She is my mini-me in many ways.  She loves to be active and would play all day and night if she could get away with it.  She is also a great big sister to her little brother.

David and Declan
(and a bit of Macy)

Speaking of her brother, his name is Declan.  He just turned one yesterday. It is amazing how quickly time flies when you are chasing a baby around the house.  He is much calmer than his big sister.  He loves to be on the move and chasing her around, but he also loves to be cuddled.  He is his father in every way (except for the blonde hair, blue eyes, and dimples).  He would eat sweets at every meal.  I can't wait to see what life has in store for him.

Which brings me to David, my husband of almost 6 years.  He is also a teacher.  If fact, he teaches in the room next to mine, which can be interesting at times.

So there you have the main cast.  I am sure I will talk about other people at times, but that is a good introduction (in my opinion).
