MOmMy bRaIn started 3 years ago, during my first pregnancy. Urged on by my husband (computer-geek-extraordinaire), the blog was a way to share updates on my impending mommyhood with my family and friends.
Turns out I'm a genius writer, insanely hilarious and millions of people began to worship my daily outbursts and helpful hints. None of that is true. What I try to be is straight-forward, sans-BS and (big word alert!) comprehensible... although the last of which I cannot guarantee as this blog is called "mommy brain" and I am an admitted and recovering (lie) sufferer.
Here's the deal - I've been on hiatus for a year. Life is busy and, fact is, I lost my desire. I could have gone on, faking it, just to satisfy my own personal need to not be a "quitter" but who wants to read forced and uninspired nonsense?
But now, if you'll have me, I'm back. I've missed the mommy-support and the pure (and selfish) therapeutic advantages of spewing out all my grievances and failures and having someone else say "me too!".
Stick with me and, worst case, we'll laugh at ourselves together...
MOmMy bRaIn a.k.a Jen :)
PS - If I was as cool as I wish I was, I'd have a nice, professional, look-how-perfect-and-happy-I-am profile pic to display at the top of this page. But I'm not cool and I'd hate that picture so here's a collage of pics from make-shift backyard sliding from Christmas day this year... I think it tells a better story of who I am anyways.
