Intro

I've wanted to start a blog for years now.  Unfortunately, there is not a creative bone in my body and I thought my posts would be dull and boring.  Not to mention the fact that I feel like I have almost no time for anything besides the absolute necessities in my life (go to school, homework, feed my kids, occasionally do some cleaning, etc).  But a few weeks ago a friend of mine started a blog and I became very interested in blogging again.

Then I remembered that I can't even keep up with my frustration journal so a blog was out of the question.  But as I read my friend's blog I kept on trying to remind myself that this blog was about her because I kept on wanting to post comments about how Abel did that too and yeah Abel does that all the time (my friend has an 8-year old son).  So the answer?  Start my own blog.

But even that wasn't convincing enough.  Then I remembered that my friend's blog was not the first instance of me trying to convince myself to not post comments about Abel or Dina.  On Facebook whenever one of my friends posted a milestone or funny/cute thing that their first baby did, I wanted to post a comment like "Yeah that's so Abel!"  But of course, I don't because their posts are supposed to be about their babies and it would be rude to hijack that way.

So I'm going to start off by saying two things:

(1) this blog is exclusively for funny/cute things that my kids (Abel, 5, Dina, almost 4, and Elena, 1) do and

(2) PLEASE feel free to comment on similar things that your kids have done that you just have to share.  I love finding out that Abel is not the only one that has baptized his cousin in the toilet or that Dina is the only girl that can outclimb her male friends.

Now, as is the tradition with inaugural posts, a little about me:
I am an undergraduate at UCLA and I will receive my Math/Applied Science B.S. in June.  Unlike many people assume for some reason, I did not "go back to school."  I simply never left.  I'm 23 years old (do I look old?); I had Abel in high school when I was 18.  I actually got married when I was 16, so yeah, that's how that happened.  Although I am a math major, I hate abstract math, which is pretty much all you ever do in upper division math classes.  I am an MD-hopeful; currently on the waiting list for the University of Minnesota Medical School.  Ok that's enough for now, you'll find out more about me later ;-)
