In the begining, there was Veteran's Day

Day one of "the blog." I thought I would give the intro about why I am opening my life up to the word. It is interesting. Bottom Line.

Hahahaaa -- ooh, I just gave myself a good laugh there! Actually, I just wanted you to see from my daily adventures that someone's life is worse than yours. Do you believe in a higher power? I do and I firmly believe he is up there watching my life play out like the weekly sitcom. The two biggest things in my life are my job (toilets) and my daughter (single mom, only child). They both manage to keep my life going!

Amazingly fitting that today is Veteran's day. We have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of my brother home from Iraq on mid-tour vacation. After spending the morning at the local parade, which consisted of precisely 1 marching band, 8 corvettes, 50 boy and girl scouts and a fire truck, we convened to my mom's house to relax. My brother Joe enters the house, "I saw a soldier in uniform walking down the street that looked like Kevin." So, my mom runs down the street, tears streaming to embrace my brother home for two weeks. Ah, poetic. Slightly cheesy and completely fitting for the holiday.

The next few weeks are sure to be fun-filled: the crazy family wedding, the wild Thanksgiving, and then the move into the Christmas holiday. Keep reading!
