My Blogging Declaration.

Dear world,

I have decidedly reached a point in my life where having a blog became a great idea. I love writing, social networking, and airing my dirty laundry for the whole online world to see. That last part was a joke.... or not. If you follow this blog, you will soon find out.

So I suppose I should now share with my hypothetical(I say hypothetical because as I write this, no person in the world knows this blog even exists) blogging audience a little about who I am as a functioning(or not) member of society.

I am a lot of things, but the most important aspect of my life is that I am a mom. Almost one year ago a team of doctors and surgical nurses laid me on a table, removed some of my innards, cut an opening in my uterus, and pulled out an adorable, 6 pound baby boy. Since then my life has been full of an equal amount of joy and exhaustion.

I work from home for a living. This means that while I am on the business phone and computer, I am also desperately attempting to make sure things don't get broken by my adorable little beast. The phone cord gets yanked, my papers get pulled on, and steam comes roaring from my ears on busy days as I try to speak with customers and referee the monkey. But being a single mom, this job works great for me. I make enough money to support myself and my son, and I get to stay at home with him. What more can a single mom ask for?

My son is an expert at crawling, and once you notice him eye-balling the Wii remote control that is across the room and low enough for him to snag it, he is there in three seconds. He crawls like someone lit a fire under his chunky butt. One thing nobody warns you about when your baby starts crawling is how it reflects your cleanliness. I sweep and mop daily. I mop so vigorously that any day I will be comparable to Popeye the Sailorman(minus the bulging eye). My son has knees that are dirtier than a cheap lady of the night. I hate it. Several times a day I take a diaper wipe to his knees, and clean those chunky joints as best I can.

It is very likely I will talk mostly about two things in this blog; my life as a mom, and stupid people. My life as a mom is what I enjoy most in this world, and stupid people is what I enjoy least in this world. Have an awesome day, and stay tuned for many ramblings to come!
