Yesterday was the 100th day of school at Ellie's preschool. They celebrated the number 100 by making "100" hats (not 100 hats, but hats that looked like the number 100), reading about 100, making a snack of 100 pieces, talking about 100, singing about 100 - you get the picture.

So when I picked Ellie up yesterday, she was quite excited. Here was our conversation.

Me: What number did you talk about at school today?
Ellie: I don't remember.
Me: You talked about a big number - what was it?
Ellie: Ummmmmm..........2?

It's been a strange couple of months around here. In everything that's been going on, I've been thinking a lot about why I blog. I read several blogs regularly. Blogs that are about something specific. Bloggers that are actually making money just from writing. Bloggers who get free stuff for their opinions and a few paragraphs about what they thought.  That's not why I started blogging.  But should that be my goal?

The answer I've come to is no. At this time in my life, I don't have the time or desire to turn my blog into something bigger. I started the blog to document our life. So that one day my kids have something to read and remember. And for now, that's good enough for me.
