Getting Started

So this is my first attempt at a blog.  Not sure if I'll keep it up or not, but what the heck.  I truely believe that life is simple, made complicated by choices we make.  We make different choices everyday and with each passing moment our lives change based upon those choices.  Take me for instance...
I have a wonderful life with a wonderful husband who loves me dearly and two beautiful children.  It amazes me how fast they grow and how much they learn so damn fast.  On the other hand sometimes I wonder why I just don't run out the door screaming, never coming back.  We've all had those thoughts, admit it.  Unfortunately we don't feel comfortable admitting there's something in us that wants to just chuck it all and run away. Go and do nothing perhaps instead of EVERYTHING!  Go to some far off land and say SCREW IT!  But then reality hits and we realize our lives, while they may suck right now for whatever reason, are truely good.  Some of us think that anyway. 
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  So, I suppose, is wonderful.  What may be wonderful to me, could totally suck to the next guy.  While there are times I could think of nothing better then staying home with my kiddos, I have a desire to get the hell out of my house.  Drink a giant cup of coffee, write a novel and just watch the world go by.  Instead, I have to take care of them both, three if you count the hubby, and the world looks at me like I'm supposed to smile the whole time. 
Don't get me wrong, I love taking care of my family.  Walking in the door from work and having my son run up to me yelling "mommy's home" is one of the most wonderful sounds in the whole world... yet there's this deep desire in me to just chuck it.  Move to Greece and not look back.  But I can't do that.  I have responsibilities.  I have a life that I love... that doesn't mean I can't dream does it?
