One Saturday Down, Eleven More to Go

The most unattractive feature of my chosen career as a public accountant is that it requires me to give up a good portion of my weekends starting in January and ending in April. A majority of the time I don't really mind it though. The office is extremely quiet on Saturdays and I can usually accomplish a good bit of work. Sadly that doesn't appear to be the case today. You see, the flip side of an extremely quiet office on Saturdays is that when you need to address an issue with someone, the chances are they are not in. So I will put my first project of the day aside until Monday and take a break to munch on the chicken salad sandwich, chips, and Coke that my husband so thoughtfully sent me off with this morning.

After my break I have another three hours or so to work and then its off to my haircut appointment, then home to watch some football, clean the house, and spend some time with my beautiful little girls. They are growing up so fast!! Haley, my oldest, is almost 3 and a half. She goes to preschool every day and she loves it! I always amazes me to see how much she has learned and matured since she started. She also began taking dance lessons this year and she loves those, too! Emme, my youngest, just turned 8 months. She learned to crawl at Christmas and she is all over the place! She's started pulling up some, too. I won't be surprised at all if she is walking before she turns 1. Well, now you know a little bit about my little ones. I'm sure you'll have the opportunity to learn lots more as this blog progesses. But for now I've got to get back to accounting.....

Welcome

Welcome to my blog! This is actually my third attempt at blogging and this time I am determined to stick with it. I got the idea to start a blog from my friend Meagan. She has a really cool blog. I started reading it one day a couple months ago and have wanted to have a really cool blog of my own ever since. So what has taken me so long? Why is this my third attempt? I guess the most honest answer is that life got in the way. I am a wife, mother of two precious girls ages 3 and 8 months, and a public accountant. From the time I wake up in the morning until the time I go to bed at night I am constantly on the go. I usually don't get a lot of "me" time and for the next couple of months I will eternally grateful for any little sliver of "me" time I can get. This is my busiest and most stressful time of the year. Even so, I am making a commitment to this blog. I won't be writing about any serious world issues, politics, finance, or anything like that. What you will find here are simply random thoughts and stories from my life as a working wife and mom. Feel free to laugh with me (and occasionally cry with me) as I share with you some Insights into the life of Katherine Blake. Until next time, have a great day!!
