Here I am

So...I don't do anything electronic unless I have to.  I was among the last of my friends to get a cell phone, I still don't check my personal e-mail every day (although I'm trying to get better) and I only text if I have to.  Now you're telling me (or I'm telling myself) that I have to try to do THIS every day!  Yes!!  I hope I will...I think I will.  At least I'd like to try.

I'm a mom and a wife.  I'm a music teacher.  I'm a composer and an opera singer.  These are all things I am actively creating, pursuing and refining every day.  The "elephant (or maybe not) in the room" is that I was diagnosed with spastic diaplegic cerebral palsy when I was eighteen months old. 

I really don't want this to be like every other typical blog that a busy working mother might create.  I'm also fairly certain (though I confess to not being totally with it on the blogging scene), that there must be thousands of people who have started blogs because they are disabled.  I guess I'm here to share my thoughts and experiences as a disabled mother of two young, very active boys with those who care to listen, share and maybe have a laugh every so often too.  I want to know if there are others "out there" like me.  How cliche does that sound?  Sometimes I feel like there have to be, and sometimes I feel like there are not.

I never really thought I would be so lucky as to have everything that I do.  Nor did I ever think there would still be so much that is so difficult for me to attain.  Not for the normal everyday reason.

More on all of this soon.
