Introduction

I'm a news junkie, a moderately raging liberal, an art whore, and a stay-at-home single mom. I don't leave the house much. If you want to read about exciting days and nights in Prague, find another blog. (I recommend http://www.marcram.com/, a friend from college to whom I haven't spoken in years but whose life I admittedly envy.) But I find that I get these ideas, these strange eggs I lay that often hatch into full-grown Theories, and yet I have no room to house them. So, I have no recourse but to kennel them here and hope they inspire others to do something with them. Fly, thoughts, and be free.

As I said, I don't leave the house much. But I can't say I regret that. My Joy and Love of My Life is here, a beautiful and charming young man of 14-and-a-half months who answers to Jackson, Jackson Bill, Monkey Pants, Love Bug, Sweet Pea, and Naughty Scamp. He has this smirky little grin that just melts me, even though it usually means he's gotten into something he shouldn't.

But even though my day-to-day is full of Mommy Trivia-- diaper rash, number and duration of naps, new teeth, and an ongoing battle against ear wax (of which Jax has an impressively prodigious output)-- which only entertains me and Granny, I promise not to bore any readers I might have with such. Or at least, not too often. Rather I hope this blog will give me an outlet for Adult Conversation, and some use of my brain not involved with my spawn.

All right, I'm going to break that rule right from the outset. My Precious needs a nap. Either that or we are at risk that I will stab his hand with a pen because he won't stop banging on the keyboard. Kidding. Maybe.

Until next time,
SOI
