They say it starts with a single step

Or a first entry. I'm not exactly sure what I will be posting here, but since I used to keep a journal years ago and I really got a lot out of it, I thought I would try this. Courtesy of a good friend who introduced me to this site and in reading what is on here already, I figured I couldn't do much worse.

Life can be a scary thing when you are a 46 year old single mother of 2 kids with a house, 4 cats and a dog all depending on you for their livelihood. I have to keep food on the table, kibble in the dishes and somehow manage to keep everyone clothed, housed and cared for irregardless of what else is going on in my life. Yeah, yeah, I know. That's the commitment you make when you have kids or adopt a pet. And I do it because I love them and because it is the right thing to do. Wish my ex felt that way too, but what can you do? You can't change people and it is foolish to try.

So, like, I'm an Aries and green is my favorite color and I can't stand Brittany Spears or any of the other pop tarts out there. (Ok I was channeling a Valley girl there for a minute.)

My father was a minor folk singer who sang with Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie and Paul Robeson. My folk roots are deep, but I also love classical music, classic rock and jazz. Is there any decent new music out there today? I really don't think so. Somehow I don't think "Oops, I Did it Again" has the staying power of "Bridge Over Troubled Water".
