Giving this a try

So I thought it would be fun to start a blog. Not sure if this will be successful or not but I thought I would test it out. I usually don't attempt to do new things for fear it will be a failure so this is really putting it all out there. Will people read it?? And if they do, will they think I am dumb? Will they leave me a comment? See....here I go. I'm about to talk myself out of it like I always do. Maybe I think about things too much and just need to relax!!!!! Maybe I need to stop listening to myself and quit making things into a bigger deal than they are. I need to quit being afraid of things. I'm so tired of being afraid.

I'm secretly glad you moved over to blogspot! This way I can comment easier (I know, it's all about me... lol).

I'm sincerely looking forward to reading your thoughts and hear what's going on in your life and will definitely comment back every now and then. It's been so nice to read your comments on my blog and know that I'm not alone in all my "issues" - mommy and otherwise.

Thanks Sara. You're so sweet.

I am glad you finally did this! You have such deep and complex thoughts on so many things, it's a shame not to share them. (And if anyone says they think your posts are dumb, I will bust them up!) ;-)

And you are right -- sometimes you do need to stop thinking about things too much and just relax!

Hi M! Good to see you posting on a blog. You have neat and wonderful ideas, and you exercise really good critical thought on all the political discussions we've had in the past. You're actually been helpful in changing my mind/view on a couple of things. I'm looking forward to reading your musings in this blog - no pressure! Just have fun with this and let your stream of consciousness guide your writing.
PEACE!

Thanks babe. I'll let you know if you need to bust anyone up~

And

Jose I can't believe I changed your mind about anything. I thought I just made you mad.

Monica,
I read your blog and you like a lot of the same things my family loves. The fiber bars are awesome. Someone from work introduced me into these bars and I love them. Although for obvious reasons I won't have the need for the shampoo. HA! Don't go on being afraid. I grew up being very shy and afraid. I always was concerned what others may think cause of my actions. As an adult. I gladly say, no more of that! Having a supportive spouse, and dealing with the public everyday with my job, has helped me with this. I have grown to be bolder and have much thicker skin. What ever you put out there for the world, regardless of the response you get, all that really matters is that you have your partner, and your two beutiful angels at the end of the day. They will love you unconditionally. We can't help but try to make everything we do perfect. We're Saucedo's....its in our genes. But, I have learned I don't have to beat myself up about it. Continue to do what you enjoy and all your family and friends will be here to support you. Love you cousin, Frankie

Sorry for the novel.

I am so excited for you!

Hey Frank - Thanks for your kind words. Did you hear that a lot growing up too? " Cause you're a Saucedo"
I love our dads.
