About Me… blah blah blah
The short story is that I’m just another tattoed hippie Jew Mama who puts on her Keenes and gets in her Subaru to drive to Whole Foods. What a bore.
On the off chance you’re still reading, here’s the rest of it: In case you hadn’t figured it out by now, I’m a new mother. My daughter was born in October 2008. Before she popped out, I had it all planned out – finish my degree, work my part-time job, and be the perfect mother. Hell, I was even going to learn how to cook. (HA!) I spent the first few months of motherhood just trying to keep the diaper bag stocked, and even that was a challenge.
I’m starting to get my feet back under me, which means that I’m back in school, working on my PhD in clinical social work, and back at work as an academic advisor for social work students. My daughter goes to a home daycare 2 1/2 days a week, and if you want to hear about our decision to put her in daycare, just ask. We’ll talk.
In my free time, I waste a shitload of time on Facebook, eat food that other people cook for me, watch mindless tv, and occasionally go running. Oh, and I have a husband and a cat I like to hang out with.

SWMama, you’re very funny. At least I hope I’m supposed to laugh at your definition of new motherhood! How old is your little one? Now that I’ve got two, and the second one almost a year, I would whole heartedly agree that there is a distinct “thing” that happens with that first baby–not the same at all with the second. I think–I hope–I have adjusted. Adjusted to being not the same that is!

I love the blog! As a dad of 3 with a background in neuropsych, I certainly agree! A colleague once told me about a quote from Dave Barry, which I totally agree with: “Parenthood is nothing but the gradual transition of intelligence from the parents to the children.”
