This is my first attempt at blogging.  I have participated in social networking, and have read many blogs, but am just now trying it out for myself.  I use to journal.  However, I recently tore out all the incriminating pages and shredded them!  I'm laughing as I tell you this piece of information.  Keeping a diary makes me nervous.  After all, it is so permanent. Will my rambling, angst written words be how I am remembered?  Not unless someone decides to paste them back together!  

As I re-read them and shredded the memories, I remembered My So Called Life.  I was Angela Chase as I shredded the strangely odd details of my past. 

Now, I am a mom. I am a wife, and I am almost a librarian.  And, I am sometimes a photographer, with a degree to prove it.  As many women in the 21st century, I wear many hats.  I am an American mom. I suppose now, that someday, my children will remember a part of me by my rambling, silly blog, This American Mom.
