I'm Nobody! Who Are You?

I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us — don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.

How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!

-Emily Dickinson


Please bask in the irony of starting my public blog with this poem. What would Emily think of this day and age? Anyone from anywhere can spill their guts to the world as long as they have an internet connection. So here I am, one of many, spilling my guts.

This is me, front and center with two of my kiddos. On the left is Baby Noah (age three months) , looking a little nervous about Brother holding him. On the right is Charlie (age eighteen months) looking a little nervous about holding his brother. And I'm saying to Mr. M, "Hurry up and take the picture while everyone's still happy!".

A couple of things that define me...

...mother
...wife
...(very) young adult
...stay at home mom
...sister
...asthmatic
...survivor
...volunteer
...Mormon
...friend
...night person
...pasta lover
...dog owner

Final Thought

"When you stop doing things for fun, you might as well be dead."

-Ernest Hemingway
