And now for something completely different...

My life is hectic. I have two beautiful and precocious girls, a very busy husband and a lot of different hobbies. I am a reader and former teacher. I raise red worms in my backyard, I volunteer for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Honestly, I miss teaching a lot, but mostly because it challenged me intellectually. I love to learn about all sorts of subjects, and especially media and parenting and culture and education and just about anything else out there. I am currently reading 3 books on my Kindle and one by the tub, and I also read 2 or 3 magazines a month, and that is kind of how my brain works-- do 4 things at once but don't do them very quickly :). I am sort of at a crossroads in my life, as I am currently staying at home with the girls and so when my unemployment runs out I will have to decide do I want to go back into the classroom or find something more in tune to being a full-time parent? But as of now, I've been looking since I left the classroom and nothing has come my way, so the girls are my main job. So here is a page about the things I am learning chasing these two wild ones down.

I am hoping to address life as a SAHM from my own point of view, and topics I think other moms are interested in. This is a pretty vast topic, but in case I find that some ideas are better for my personal blog or my reading blog, those posts will be on those pages. (Check out my profile for those links.) Hope I can keep you entertained and happy to read along!
