About Me

I started this blog in January of 2010 as a way to get the thoughts out of my head. Little did I know that anyone other than my immediate family would ever want to read about my crazy brain.

I’m a working mother. Emphasis on the working and the mother.  My son, J was born in August of 2009, and I’m a practicing attorney in Savannah, Georgia, getting ready to move back to Macon, Georgia . Learning how to juggle my mommy-ness along side my legal-ness has been and is a constant struggle. I don’t think there is any easy way to do this working mom gig. I think no matter what you do, someone feels left out of the loop… and nine times out of ten it’s you. So to keep myself in the loop, I blog.

Let me be clear… I blog for me. Not for you.  So if you don’t like what I have to say, there are so many other blogs you can read. I don’t tolerate meanness here because I think women need to stick together and not tear each other down.

I’m a vegetarian and have been since February of 2007, except for a few torrid affairs with Zaxby’s chicken.  I co-slept with my kid for a LONG time. And there’s still a bed in the nursery. I don’t cloth diaper, though I think it’s noble of those who do.  I have a lot of political opinions but I rarely share them because I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion… even if it’s stupid and clearly wrong. (yours, not mine.)

This blog strives to be real and genuine, but I will pull punches when necessary. Of course, I will also rip you a new one if it’s deserved. (in my own mind). I don’t blog about my extended family because they didn’t ask to be a part of this blog and it’s not fair to force them into it.  I try to keep it clean, but sometimes that’s just impossible.

I work hard when I’m at work, but I leave it at the office because being a lawyer is tough, but it doesn’t hold a candle to being J’s mom. Hardest. Gig. Ever. So I’m a full time lawyer, a full time mom, a part time crazy lady, and a semi-superhero. And lately, as if I didn’t have enough on my plate, I’ve found myself in unchartered waters, after my husband of three and a half years unexpectedly announced that he no longer wanted to be married.

I write to maintain my sanity so if I’m happy, it’s happy. If I’m sad, it might get a little Eeyore-ish. But it will always be 100% me.

Welcome to my world…
