The name

As a brand new to blogging blogger - I really have little idea of where to start or what to do....I imagine it is one of those processes that takes time to become familiar.   At any rate I thought I would start by explaining the pretty self explanatory name of my blog.....

My life really does seem to consist of second grade and in between.  There is a lot of in between though....mostly spent in my car driving people places so that they ultimately will have interesting things to write on their college applications.   There are, of course, the staples of having a family - the laundry, the cooking,  the cleaning...I am not particularly good at any of those but we get by.  We have clean clothes...wrinkly but clean, we eat, and I am fairly certain that I kill most of the germs.   Those things all happen in between.  We work out.  Three times a week we do something both awesome and terrific called Tabata.   And I try to throw in something in between that too - swimming, biking, walking...or at least thinking that I should do these things...it's a start.  The trials and tribulations of life happen in between too.  Things like sickness and the Homework Monster usually appear in the in-between.  The in-between can be awesome - vacations and Christmas and birthdays and happy surprises happen there too.  You never know what might happen in-between.

In fact, second grade is probably the most normal part of my day.  And  applying the word normal to second grade is an oxymoron I think.  Lots of adventures happen there too.  But school is fairly predictable..unless the moon is full...and even that is predictable.   I think most people have their job and the in-between.  I do my job so that the in-between can be fun - just like I imagine you do.  I am really  fortunate to like my job.  We do good things at school.

So that's my second blog post.  And how the name came into being.  I am not sure how often one should blog and I don't want to run out of good ideas... So I think I am going to try to make it a couple of times a week...or when inspiration strikes and see how that goes.  Thanks for reading.
