I want one too...

This is an introduction to my new blog. Many of you are probably friends of mine and are laughing at me starting over. Well, as you may (or may not) already know, I have caught a baby fever measuring at about 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Which I think means my brain is frying. Anyways, I've been looking at lots of momma blogs out there and while I love, love, love many of them, I feel like I would like to share things about my family in my own special way.

I'm a bit weird, and I say that with pride. I've always loved being just a little different from most people that I know. I was a little tomboyish growing up and didn't become really in touch with my feminine side until late high school/college. I've been married for a little over 2 1/2 years now to my bestest best friend forever, Nigel. We don't have any children yet, but are hoping to start trying soon. Sometimes I think I hope more than Nigel does, but sometimes I get the impression he's just as anxious as me. He's just more Vulcan about it.

What, I think, will make this blog different from other popular momma blogs is that I am a laid-back, no-worries, video-game-playin', only-cooks-on-weekends type of girl. For now anyway. Soon I hope to be a laid-back, no-worries, video-game-playin', baby-food-makin', cloth-diapering, working-at-home mommy. I have a sneaking suspicion that my video games will be isolated to the weekends if I work at home.

I want to make the world a better place, one child at a time, one less disposable diaper (sposie) per diaper change. I want keep my life as natural as can be while staying plugged in. My husband and I are both complete tech junkies and urban (or suburban) dwellers so there's only so much natural we can comfortably handle.

I'm a rebel for no apparent reason, but I do usually have one. I work with young children, aiding their development and caring for them while their parents are working. I do that, but I don't really believe in daycare. I take comfort in knowing that I give some (definitely not all) unfortunate children most of the love and attention that they get during the day. And I say "not all" because I know a lot of parents hate having to take their babies to a sterile looking environment where they are cared for by other people. I am, however, infuriated by the parents that drop their kids off at 6:15 and don't come to get them until 5:00, bring them to school when they are obviously not feeling well, and.... wait, I'm getting off topic. I may be anti-preachy preachy sometimes, but I'll talk about all the daycare stuff at a later date. This entry is for introduction, right? I think I've sufficiently introduced myself. Hopefully this will be a successful blog about my unapologetic approach to life and family.
