Hello Blog, It's Me, Kerry

Welcome to The Colwell Chronicles! I have often thought about starting a blog but was always wondering who would read it? Who cares? If a blog is written but no one reads it, does it still exist? Is this just some weird public diary? I have decided that I don't care and I will give it a shot as long as I continue to not care about my lack of audience and it does not take too much time away from my kids, Jackson and Jessica who deserve the world!

So, do you really want to know what we did today? Hmmm, not a lot. Played soccer outside with the kids and Chunky, our three month old pug puppy, watch the first half of The Little Mermaid, which caused Jessica to change her mind about her Halloween costume. Then Jackson stepped in and said "Jessica, Mom said when I bought my Jango Fett costume at Super Target that this was it and I can not change my mind so you can not change your mind." To which Jess replied "Okay." Jackson is Yoda to Jessica's Luke Skywalker. He is her hero, sage, best friend and partner in fun, crime and various adventures. There is nothing better than to listen to their conversations.

Tonight is also the finale of Big Brother which marks the official end of summer for Chris and I as it is our summertime guilty pleasure. Actually, this year was pretty lame and I will be glad to see it end. When you have the greatest reality show ever going on, the presidential race of 2008, it is hard to care about stuff like that.

Bringing me to one huge personal fact - I am a hardcore Obama supporter and lifelong Democrat. I am sure I will have posts along the way concerning Obama and various volunteering I have been doing, my rants about the other side, etc. Will this be every post? Heck no, I am a proud Mom above anything else so lots of these posts will be about my family but once in awhile, I will not be able to NOT say anything. So if that makes you uncomfortable, don't read this. It's okay, I won't mind.

I will try to keep on this frequently with all sorts of happenings, recipes, pictures, cool links, and whatever else I can squeeze into my very limited free time!
