What was I thinking?

What ever possessed me to start blogging! I have no idea what I am doing, but here goes. Who knows maybe it will be fun, I have also heard that about bungee jumping and sky diving, but I wouldn't do them either. I am going to use this as a sounding board, a form of communicating, and just for random thoughts.
It is so difficult to get started, even "about me" is difficult, and I know more about me than anyone. I decided to write a poem. As I go along I will post more about me and my life.
I did mention in "about me" that I am grandma to Tallie and Jack. Tallie is my son's 4 year old step-daughter as of July 12. She is a very precious little girl. I don't get to see her as much as I would like, but isn't that the way it is with all grandchildren. My other grandchild is Jack. Actually Jack is a dog, but he doesn't seem to know that.
Speaking of dogs not knowing they are dogs that leads me to some of my pet peeves. No pun intended. I have nothing against dogs that think they are one of the children. I do have problems with children having to do without the basics, because the dog has to go to a special groomer or gets special treatment. Another pet peeve is cabinet doors left open. It is strange that this would bother me so much, because I am not a very neat or organized person. I have lots of pet peeves, which means I am a complainer. I try not to be, but it just seems easier to complain than to try and do anything about it. Another pet peeve of mine is slang words that most people used to be considered cussing. Now in our society they are accepted by many. I don't think anyone should speak out loud or write a word or phrase they wouldn't want their child to say to a teacher at school or church.
I guess I will hit publish post, and enter into the word of blogging. More gripes, er I mean, pet peeves to follow.
