I hate being confined to titles.

I really hate titles, not titles in general, just coming up with them. Everyone else's titles always seem so cool and mine are always lacking. It doesn't help that I'm taking a class right now in which lame titles are encouraged. It's almost a competition for me too, I feel like the lamer my title, the more she will appreciate it thus earning me bonus points. It's a Intro to Communication class, now required for AA's. I swear I don't remember having to take this earlier when I should have been a real college student like everyone else, now I'm a mom and I'm "old." Whatever.

An actual example of a title from the project guidelines... "I Came, I Saw, I learned a lot... About Other People from their Behaviors." Do you see my point? I could tell you what I named my paper, but I'm not ready to start embarrassing myself in front of you quite yet, blogworld.

Anyway, this is the start of my "Mom blog." Probably not where I will brag about my children, but more of a space for me to try to anonymously disgrace myself and lack of parenting skills among other things. I have an almost three year old and a kid who is 18 months and 1 day younger, 17 months-ish right now. I asked my doctor long I should wait and she recommended them being 18 months apart, lucky for her I moved when our first was only 2 months old so I didn't have to see her much longer to properly thank her. Next time I think about taking advice from a doctor, I will also remind myself that she single handedly earns triple what my husband brings in. Me? I stay at home with the kids and recently decided to try going back to school because while I always thought it would be cool to be a stay at home mom (and it is, for the most part) I realize that my career is almost like that of a gymnast and someday I will happily have to retire my wiping hand (once we declare our own national wipe your own ass day... a holiday courtesy of Diagnosis:Urine) and whatever else. I lost my train of thought because the kids are refusing my generous nap offerings today.
