Finding time to blog

Where do I find the time to blog, I now have added a new favorite to the list of things to check and do, I check e-bay to weather, banking, and last but not least facebook. Msn isn't what it used to be it used to be stressing to talk to everyone at once and watch conversations so you don't type the wrong thing on the wrong window.
Facebook is more relaxed doing things on your time, making groups and inviting people to share and support things you are interested in. Sharing pictures of your children, vacations and events in your life without carrying around that envelope with stacks of pictures and negatives..for people who didn't buy those little books to put pictures in.
Technology allows us to have more access into the lives of our friends and family and complete strangers if we want.

My Name is Trina this is my first entry in the world of blogs... is "blog" the new adjective, i blog, he blogs, she blogs....lol. I am not making fun of the word it's just I have a feeling this is going to become a habit, sort of like facebook is now.I will be adding the new word to my vocabulary.Let me begin ...I am taking the B.Ed course through UNB since the summer of 2007, the reason I am blogging...I don't even know if there is such a word. I am taking a technology course as part of my B.eD.I have 5 children ...who are wonderful....when their sleeping..lol.I currently work as an Assistant Director at a daycare, I have four daughters and one son, I am a basketball mom of my son. Currently the team is undefeated 14-0....wooo hooo.My children range in ages between 22-6 years of age, I work everyday I go to school two nights a week and I attend quilting classes with my mom one night a week. I Love to quilt.In my experience with technology, not that long ago I struggled with learning in an non traditional manner, through video web cam.This took time to learn how to learn in a manner I was not used to, I mean I watched movies on the computer, used the web cam to talk to my kids when I was away at workshops. But to sit in a classroom setting, and not be able to converse, react or comment in the traditional classroom setting was unusual ...I wasn't even sure I would learn anything....lol.I know the difference now because I was patient and I gave it sometime, just like everything else I just needed time.I am a Digital Immigrant and I am ok with that, I liked playing in the fields, climbing trees, making forts, playing hopscotch and jump rope in the road, cutting out paperdolls with the sears catalog.I thought the first remote control was the best thing and it was only one button to turn off the Tv. I liked playing with the rabbit ears, using tin foil to find a clear channel. Chasing the ice cream truck, playing at the park and forgetting my favorite doll on the park bench, just to go back and find her all chewed up by the dogs :(I love my computer and everything it has to offer... my friends live in there.This was my first "blog" so be sympathetic when commenting. Thanks a Bunch Trina
