Hello me and anyone reading this.
I have kept a journal since I was first able to write and have fallen off the wagon because I spend every free moment online or with my nose in a book. I thought maybe I could get back into the habit of recording my days, what my kids are doing, and clarifying my thoughts which writing them down has always helped me to do.
So who am I? Well I'm a complicated kind of gal.
I am American from Connecticut but haven't lived there since I was 18. I've been in Japan most of my adult life and consider this my home, but as a fast-talking aggressive feminist white chick I will never really be an insider in this culture.
Whatever. I've never really felt like an insider anyway, except for amazing transcendent and fleeting moments of connection.
I'm one of those crunchy granola attachment parents you may have heard tell of. All members of this household sleep in the same (thank gods it's king-sized!) bed. I breastfeed my kids long past the age of being able to ask for it by name.
But I have been known to yell at my son, and fantasize sometimes about selling him on eBay. We go to McDonalds much more often than we should.
I'm a Witch but not a Wiccan. That means that while I love nature and the Lord and Lady, I don't follow any particular tradition and am also beginning to have my doubts about this "Harm None" thing. I am a compassionate person filled with true love for all of creation, but becoming Mom has put me in touch with my Dark Side. I would not hesitate to zap anyone who hurt my babies. No white light in that picture.
Oh, and like tht old Monty Python sketch, I have been known to use (gasp!) sarcasm.
Not everybody gets that. Those who don't are cordially invited to bite me.
Love Dora the Explorer. Loathe Barney with a passion. Teletubbies are OK...I am an inveterate Fag Hag and Tinky Winky is my kind of guy....any man who can accessorize better than me is my friend.
OK...let's see if this works.
TTFN and Blessed Be.
