I don't know why the heck I'm doing this. Its not like I have the TIME! I have two kids under two, a husband who's gone all day, and a high maintenance Yorkie, so when do I think I'm going to have time to write a blog for goodness sake?? Ah well, I figure maybe its the therapy I need to be happy in my life. Dump out my thoughts on "paper", instead of internalizing everything, and mommy will be happier. Who knows - can't hurt, I guess.
So maybe a little introduction is in order (as if anyone's going to read this!). My name is Jenn, and I'm a stay at home mom ("HI, JENN!"). I've been married for almost 5 years to my best friend, and we have two kids, ages 22 months and 6 months, both girls. I gave up a high-flying career in marketing to stay at home and raise my kids. I just don't think anyone else should have that responsibility. I made'em, I should raise'em. But its hard - harder than any corporate job I've had, and I've had some doozies! The kids are demanding, the days drag, and dare I say BORING. But then I get to see my daughter smile for the first time, or see my toddler learn about birds and trees and dogs, I get to see every burp and laugh and tear. And I'm so very thankful that I get to be home with them.
SO, in the minutes I have to myself these days I have been selling stuff on eBay. Mostly to pay for a huge septic problem we have (that story I'll save for another blog entry), but also it keeps my mind sharp and gives me something to do besides pick up toys. Right now I'm selling lots of kids stuff (surprised?)...mostly clothes that the girls never wore, but also some gifts that we just can't use or were doubles, such as baby books, safety stuff, and keepsakes.
I also have a ton of makeup to sell from a time when I thought I was going to be a professional makeup artist (again, another blog story!). I'll be posting that stuff soon - I think it will make great mother's day gifts!
Okay, I think I've purged enough for the evening! In the event that someone other than myself is reading this - thanks! I hope you haven't fallen asleep and maybe you'll stop by again sometime.
