Me, Myself and ... who are you again?

I keep telling myself that blogging is silly and a waste of my time.

So let's fill up this space shall we?!

In this journey of stay-at-home-mom-hood I have learned only one thing.  Everything changes, even yourself.  Sometimes I don't recognize the face in the mirror anymore and the other times I don't recognize it at all because I don't bother looking in the mirror.  I'm lazy like that in the mornings now.  Showers are a crime of opportunity. The house and all that is in it is my domain now.  I try to escape it as often as possible.

On the other hand I have found time to discover some new loves in my life.  I've always loved kitchen science and have begun experimenting more with my slow cooker.  Pork + milk + orange rinds + cinnamon stick == yummy food.  I make my own yogurt and while the two littlest members of the family shun all my concoctions my husband assures me they are delicious.  And I believe him because husbands never lie.  I love knitting.  Wait, I should rewind on that one.  I love making something with my hands and knitting seemed to be something not only  hand made but useful too.  Through knitting I've made some great new friends who love to knit too!

Somehow, life without a job this time around turned out OK.  In fact I'd say more than OK since I get to cuddle my kids when I want to now.

Go me.
