Hello my name is

I like wine and food. I like to read long novels and do crafts. I love to spend money on things I find interesting. But, mostly I enjoy long walks on the beach with fruity pink umbrella drinks. Who am I kidding? I work full-time with a household total of four kids (only one that claims me as blood mother), a Yankee husband, three dogs, two cats, a bearded dragon....oh and no door on our bedroom. I live south of the Mason Dixon line, and think it's the prettiest part of the country. I don't believe in the "American Dream", but rather survival of everyday life. I do love wine (mainly because of it's effects). I do thoroughly enjoy food (but struggle daily with not wanting to weigh 200 pounds). I like to pretend I have time to read and buy books, but then sell them with a perfect, unused binding in a year or so and talk about how much I enjoyed it. I have craft supplies out the wazoo and yet I don't think I've ever finished a project. I do love to spend money on things I find interesting, that is true. Therefore I have a house full of unneccessary vintage junk, that's only purpose is to collect dust. I hate the beach (sand gets in "don't mention" places). I'm creating a blog just so I can voice my frustration about everyday, mundane, routine activities and maybe serve as friend to fellow borderline insane mothers (just remember, insanity is not allowed my dear).
