So it begins...

After much thought and a whole lot of convincing from my husband, I decided to start a Blog. This is a big step for me- I've never had a Livejournal, Myspace, or a Facebook. I never really felt the need to make my personal life any one else's business. But, after being a stay at home mom for about a year and a half and realizing that I was starting to talk to walls, I decided to give it a go.

Following is a list of names I threw around for my new blog:

• Not that Deep- John and I decided it had too many T's. It was also at risk for being taken the wrong way entirely. Imagine the disappointment on some perverts face when he came to my blog and realized I was just a bored stay at home mom talking about birds flying into her windows (stay tuned for this post later).
  
• Just the Tip- This of course was a result of the previous idea and some brainstorming. I decided against it for obvious reasons.
  
• Raising Chaos- I wasn't sure if this sounded more like a 90's sitcom or an angsty band. Either way it was taken by someone who hadn't blogged since 2004.

I settled on Everyone into the Pool. At the beginning of every summer my parents would work all day long on draining and scrubbing our pool to get it ready for the season. After they nearly killed each other getting it ready for the year they would fill it up with freezing cold hose water. My father would yell with the excitement of a kid on Christmas "Everyone into the pool!" and we would all cannon ball in, regretting it the instant the ice cold water touched our bottoms. That phrase seemed fitting for this blog.

What am I getting myself into?
