What do I do now?

This is my experiment in blogging.  Let me know how it turns out. 

So, if you are reading this, you should know that I have 3 daughters (hence the name of the blog) Haley, Alyssa, and Sarah.  They just went back to school and I am not working and am not really sure what to do with myself all day.  I am starting a Master's degree in nursing education at Clarkson College (slowly), and suffering from migraines a lot (I will try not to complain too much), but really I have lots of free time alone.  I have never had this much time to myself and feel slightly guilty about it.  Watching daytime tv, occasionally napping, going out for lunch with my friends, hanging out with my sister- these are things that induce guilt.  I know it's all in my head and I do have an important purpose as a stay at home mother/student/wife.  Anyway, the point is that documenting this transition will give me, and you, some insight into what it is that I do with my time and efforts, and remind us that I am being productive.

Another purpose of this blog is to tell you all about the awesome, funny, intelligent, annoying, sweet, insightful, and possibly boring things that happen between my daughters and I.  Last night, for example, Haley (11) started reading a book that she and her friend picked out together at school.  This morning she decided that she was going to stop reading it because a boy character in the book offered the girl character a cigarette.  Haley is an extreme anti-smoker.  Like the "holds her breath when walking near smokers" kind of anti-smoker.  She took an oath from her DARE instructor.  She will NEVER smoke.  So today she is returning the book to the library and is going to ask the librarian to help her find a more appropriate book.  Wow.  I wonder if this is just a phase?

I may also include some super interesting discussion of my class content (only kidding- keep reading), and discuss my favorite tv shows- most of which happen to be on Bravo or E!  I promise only to refer to the Real Housewives when it is truly relevant.

Here they are! Haley, Alyssa, and Sarah at the Big Time Rush concert at the state fair! 

So today, what I have done is create this blog!! Hooray for me!  I have also done some laundry and worked on a knitting project with a headache (not the worst ever, but pretty bad).  So I feel fairly productive- could have done more minus the head pain.  Thanks for visiting!  Come again!
