The Fabulist

The Fabulist.
A fabulist is traditionally someone who tells fables, stories.
It's also been called a liar.
Take what you want from that.

I'm a stay-at-home mom (or SAHM for those of you who don't get the acronym-I just figured it out. Also, WTH is with DD, DS, and DH? Why do our family members have to be 'Dear'? I just call mine my kid or hubby) of a beautiful, smart little stinker who was born in May 2011. I have an AMAZING hubby who works his tail off so that I can stay at home. Most of the time, I'm pretty mean to him, but it's just because he's so awesome that I have to make myself feel better about my non-awesomeness. He's brilliant, funny, and very attractive; so I'm constantly on guard for hussies who want to make him their awesome hubby. Back off hussies.

I was an elementary teacher, and sometimes I miss it. Okay, I don't miss the planning, arguing with parents/staff/students/general idiots, non-student related paperwork/activities, having a lesson totally bomb and having to reteach it, recess duty in the winter, recess duty not in the winter, hot lunch, or being called into the principal's office (scary no matter what your role is). So, basically I guess I miss hanging out with kids all day- let me rephrase that- I miss hanging out with certain kids all day. So, now I get to hang out with MY kid all day and she is freaking awesome. Most of the time. Except when she's yelling or hitting me or something like that.

Someday I want to be an author of a published book, but I'm a pretty big slacker, so I don't know if it will ever happen. I have "bright shiny object' disease, which means if something isn't bright or shiny enough to keep my attention, I probably don't care about it. Which is the stack of notebooks of started novels I have shoved somewhere.

So, I started this blog because I (like a billion other moms) need somewhere to show off the stuff I do. And I know they are a big deal to other moms. Some days it's a big deal to just get my teeth brushed before the hubby gets home. So this is all about me and the stuff I do: crafts, projects with my kiddo, food, wine, red wine, white wine, pinterest stuff, and books. I LOVE to read and will do it anytime, anywhere. I also am on a mission to get back to prebaby body before this summer, so I joined a well known company that certain celebrities endorse (but one can't now because she's pregnant), so I'll probably be putting up a lot of crap about that. (BOO!) Let me know if you have post ideas or simply enjoy reading. It will be awesome to get some feedback!
