You'd have to be a moron to think my name was really Donna Reed. No, girls, it is a pseudonym. You think I could be this brutally honest and use my real name! No way. Not with a name like mine. All the creepy ex-boyfriends and high school lamos would come out of the woodwork.
So who am I really? You might know me as a real live person, or maybe not. Regardless, I am a real live breathing, flesh and bone person. I have feelings, dreams, and a shitty reality, much like the rest of the world. I am a housewife-forever-in-training, a cloth diapering, baby food making, trying to be frugal and like it, casserole freezing, apron wearing, government hating, motorcycle riding, retro loving, herb gardening, recycling, Phi Beta Kappa and history loving, starting over and life changing, learning the ropes stay-at-home-mom married to a hard working blue collar Johnny PunchClock who busts his butt everyday just for us.
I really am nothing, but a punk rock kinda girl just trying to stay sane while being a good mommy, not murdering my husband, and trying to find my way in this effed up deal we all call life.
I'm not a writer, nor do I think I aspire to be one (but you know, if it works our, heeeeyyyy [insert Fonzy thumbs here]). I have a BA in History and a Sociology minor, two degrees that caused me to write, and write a lot--paper after paper after paper--so now I almost have to write to stay sane. And what to write about, but life as I know it at the moment. Hence this effed up blog. I specifically study 19th century working class society. (Yeh, I am kind of a dork). I am fairly fluent in Spanish and desire to learn German. I plan to attend graduate school as soon as my son enters school himself and hope to find a doctoral program that suits my needs. But until then, I will remain this messed up version of Donna Reed always aspiring and often failing at this game called life.
Be warned I am opinionated, obstinate, and sometimes arrogant, but don't let that stop you from enjoying my sarcastic view on life. Read on, learn more, and soon, you'll know more than you ever cared to know. *Promise*
