Robin’s Song

I am a woman. 

And this blog is what I think about. It really is as simple as that. 

Or is it?

Because, you see, I think about a whole lot of different things.

I think a lot about motherhood.  With four young children, how could I not?  There’s a lot to cover there.

I think about how I look, what I wear, my latest haircut, what brand of makeup to buy, how I’m going to get my pre-(four) baby(ies) body back.

I think about my house, which is my domain right now–how I’m going to keep it clean, how I’m going to decorate it, what I should plant in the garden, what needs to be fixed, if I can sell it before we completely outgrow it, and if we can afford to get a new one.

I think about my husband, and how sometimes I love him more than anything else in the world, and think that he’s the cutest, funniest, sweetest person in the world, and at other times…well, not so much.

I think about what I want to do in the future when I’m no longer staying at home raising kids, whether I’ll ever be able to get back to school and study all the millions of things that I am interested in learning–dance, music, art, foreign languages, history, architecture, other people and cultures and civilzations… 

I think about the world around me, movies, books, plays, history, politics, art, popular culture, music, nature, technology, shopping, money…

I think about spiritual things, my religion, my testimony, about other people’s beliefs, and about how my beliefs will affect my actions and thoughts toward others.

I think about how to stretch the money to keep my family fed and clothed and happy, and what I can do to help out from home.

I told you I think about a lot of things.  And that’s not even the half of it.

So, I take all these things that I think about, and I try to pull from that something that I think other people will be interested in thinking about, too.

And that is what this blog is about.
