It's a cinch...

After dreaming of being a stay at home mom since my oldest was born 4 1/2 years ago the day is finally here. This means I am going to have all kinds of time on my hands now right? Of course, because I can get the kids to do most of the cooking, cleaning, washing, organizing, teaching and driving around right? They can even order each other around while I kick my heels up, push my cuticles back and highlight the best programs in the t.v guide. Sounds like just what the doctor ordered...

So, one day while contemplating whether I wanted to watch Springer or the People's Court and otherwise enjoying a lazy afternoon I realized that I was depriving my friends and family by not sharing all the intimate details of our lives with them. Therefore, I decided I must blog. Well, and also so I can document all those important milestones in my children's lives in a more practical way since the pages in their well intentioned baby books are as blank as they came. As a result, much to my dismay, if someone asks me how long they were, when did they first pass gas or what was the color of their first poop I feel forced into making up something really impressive because what kind of mommy can't produce answers to such crucial inquiries?
