Starting this shiz up

I've always wanted to have a blog. The problem is I tend to be Procrastinator Extraordinaire, and blogging has been a task that has hung on a long, dusty to- do list for over a year now. I guess I've never thought I've had anything really interesting to say to the world, but now that I am a bumbling, stumbling, goofing- up Mom (and please know I will never use the word "mommy" or "mama" on this blog, as both gross me out) I figure I have some anecdotes and sentiments that will maybe prompt some grins. Hmmm, autocorrect wanted to make the word "maybe" into Mabel. I've been a little weirded out about using my baby's real name on this blog, so from here on,I think Mabel is perfect for her. Anyway, one more disclaimer. I don't think I am awesome for being a mom. This blog will not be a platform for me to praise the joys of spit-up and swaddle blankets. I'm not going to write about how blessed I feel to have had my uterus graced with the presence of Mabel. It's not one of THOSE mom blogs. Basically, J and I have no flipping idea what we are doing, and a lot of the learning is just plain funny. Plus I will use this space to vent. I hope you will visit this space and not get sick of me. But if you do, then you can start blogging about how annoying I am. I won't be offended.
