Biography

I spent my entire pregnancy in shock at being pregnant. Recently divorced and newly married (again, because you know, I'm not a total heathen), I prepared dutifully for my natural childbirth and little for what laid beyond -- sleepless nights, an elimination diet, and a transition from college music professor to mother that is still not over.

Not knowing any new mothers in my town and feeling fairly misplaced, I decided to start a blog with the hopes of connecting with other moms -- moms who didn't think motherhood was all peachy keen and who cried more than they laughed. I was out to bust myths, open eyes, and bring to the light the TRUE realities of motherhood (harsh, joyous, and funny) and marriage.

Thanks to the completion of my husband's active military duty career, I left the Deep South for temporary residence with my in-laws in the Philadelphia area, now with two kids and a little more confidence when it comes to mothering (little being the operative word).

But the challenges of parenting in Mississippi became challenges of parenting with my in-laws. And the challenges of parenting with my in-laws are now parenting back in The Dirty South in my own home, which means a mortgage and lots of time as a wife-of-pilot-who's-gone-a-lot parent, now with yet another daughter, born October 2008. 

So I blog to keep my head above water and my ass out of a psychiatric hospital.

And because if I don't tell my story, no one else will. Welcome to my Mommy Blog.

A word to trolls: If you decide to leave a nasty comment or send me a nasty email, I reserve the right to publish it (or some form of it that I mess around with) and your email address.
