I am a recovering Southerner, Type-A Buddhist, inflexible yogini,
and WFHMom to a ridiculously cute and funny preschooler (we'll call him
FrogBoy, both for his amphibious nature and what has been pointed out
to me as an unusually gravelly voice for his age). I'm a shitty
housekeeper and an even worse cook. The only thing I know how to use in
my kitchen is the computer.
Also a hater of all things white and gloopy: yogurt, mayonnaise,
Rush Limbaugh, cottage cheese, cream cheese. (Ice cream is okay. Flan
is not. Don't even say the words "rice pudding" in my vicinity or I
will pass out.)
Hobbies include yoga, writing, rolling my eyes, yelling at people in
traffic, and complaining when forced by my husband to go camping.
(We'll refer to him as AquaMan: he would live underwater if I let him.
This is where FrogBoy gets it from. Like poor hoodwinked Ariel, the
only reason the two of them live on land at all is because of their
undying love for me.)
I excel at stressing out about things I can't control, controlling the things I can, and not knowing the difference.
Oh, and I write.
The purpose of my blog is to make sure I keep up my writing even
when busy with the full-time job, school, motherhood, etc. Also, to
lampoon my own tendency to "momtrol" while at the same time making you
feel better about your tendency towards same. Oh, and of course, to
ridicule all those parents that are either less momtrolling or more
momtrolling than we are, our own tendencies defining, of course, the
EXACT PERFECT AMOUNT of momtrolling.
