Disclaimer: Although the subject
of this blog is often children, I do consider the Shameless World a place for
adults, which is why you'll often find curse words in my posts. C'mon, I spend
all day censoring myself for a toddler; I think I've earned the right to swear
on my own blog.
Who is Shameless Mommy?
The short version is
that I'm a woman whose life took a very unexpected turn when I peed on four
pregnancy tests in the middle of night when I was 23. You can read about how I
fell down the rabbit hole into motherhood here.
The slightly longer version is that I am, in no
particular order, a wife, mother, writer, and pop culture junkie who has a
strong affection for the following things, in no particular order:
Soap operas
Punctuation that finds itself inside the quotation marks
at the end of a quote
Polka dots
Tina Fey
All things having to do with the 80's and 90's
I legitimately went to
school to become a writer, though you may still find a grammatical error here
or there on this site; I may be awesome, but I'm still human. Alice is not my
real name, but I play one on the Internet. I'm really bad at math but I'm
freakishly good at remembering what year songs or albums were released. Yes,
that last part is totally irrelevant, but I wanted you to know anyway.
Why are you so Shameless?
Like I said, my first foray into motherhood
was unexpected, so to say that I make up this 'parenting' thing as I go along
would be an understatement. This often results in a lot of embarrassment for
me. Why broadcast all my mistakes for the world to read? Partially because I’ve
found that talking about my blunders helps my sanity. Or what’s left of it,
anyway. But also because usually what makes me feel better about my lacking
parenting skills is the knowledge that there are other moms and dads out there
who also have no effing clue what they're doing.
So if you go
away laughing, I’ll consider it a job well done. Also, I’ll take it as a sign
that I can stop crying in the corner.
