How dirty is my kitchen floor?
And no, there's no Alex, Mary, or Jeff at this place! Just an 2 year old toddler who won't take a nap, a whiny 15 year old cat who vocalizes her need for food 24 hours a day and a dirty blue collar neanderthal of a husband with too many damn motorcycles in too many damn pieces and too many other redneck projects. After losing my job last year due to H's condition I became a reluctant housewife and stay at home mom. Instead of putting my son in daycare and getting ready to start graduate work I was propelled into full-time motherhood and housewifery without much preparation.
Please follow my conversion from perpetual student, arrogant academic, and all for me kinda girl to humble stay at home mom and devoted wife. I'm a year and a half into the "project" and I sure do suck a the the housewife part, but I'm getting better and as it turned out I'm a pretty good mom. So here in my blog not only will I bitch about cooking, cleaning, money, kids, pets, my husband, and how much I miss intelligent conversation, but I will fill you in on cleaning tips, recipes, money saving ideas, and other advice that I have either pilfered online or invented right here in my little pea brain skull! You will also be able to follow my family's journey from hardly living to living hardy as we overhaul our lives and start fresh by moving out of a money pit house in a crappy city neighborhood to a rural rental with great potential.
Join me, it's gonna be a fun bumpy ride.
