Introduction

I decided to being blogging this past week, after reading some really impressive writers and seeing that they are doing what I have always yearned to do. My previous attempts at blogging haven't been as fruitful as I would like, one being on Myspace and the other on LiveJournal. The first is public but I have to wade through the social aspects of the site to reach my blog and I fear that I am too easily distracted by the applications and games to really get anything done. The second one is a private blog and I cannot muster the impetus to keep it up for my own amusement. So, here is a blog without games and such to make me deviate from my path and it is public enough to keep me accountable so that I continue posting.

LOL.

We will see if I can write something decent to share with the world, shall we?

My name is Rhynnah, Rhynn to some, and I am a 42 year old woman, wife to my dearest friend and husband Jay the long suffering, and mother to four children, ages 19, 18, 16, and 8. I'm not certain what else I need to tell you. Um, I've been married 21 years this Dec. 21, and my husband is a great guy who loves me for some inexplicable reason. I'm nothing special: being 42, I am short and dumpy with (more often than not) a bad attitude and a perennially grumpy pessimistic outlook. My husband is more upbeat, type A, with a side of anal retentiveness that blooms to full flower at the least provocation. My children are bright but have attitudes that exceed their ages by exponentially, and they have varying levels of motivation with regards to schooling or occupation.

We share a small home with my father, known to the world as "Grumpy", and the combined household is sometimes a real trial. My father is perhaps the kindest, most generous man but he also is dead certain that his way is the only way to do anything and this leads to a certain tension in the household sometimes. I find myself tossed between peacemaker and Peacekeeping force often, as a result.

I am Catholic by choice, having converted to the Roman church in 1992 and I intend to publish my story on this blog as a testiment to my faith and my convictions but I am not quite ready yet. The story of my life is convoluted and I'm still working on the post. Bear with me a little longer as I try out this blogging site and learn my way around a little. I promise to make things a bit more interesting as I go. :)

Thank you for visiting my blog. Come back soon.
