Well, here I am, my 6th day as a stay at home mom. I have already had to remind myself 3 times today that it is Wednesday, since I can't seem to keep track of the days of the week without a job to go to. But, I am profoundly relieved and happy to be home with my daughter right now.
On to the basics....my name is Kristen, which you already know based on the name of the blog. I am 38, married 3 years to G, with one daughter, E. E is 13 months old. I live in Wisconsin, but the nearest large city is St. Paul, MN. Up until last week, I worked in a cubicle, driving 45 miles each way into "the cities" (that would be the Twin Cities of St Paul and Minneapolis). It was a stressful job for a huge, heartless corporation, and at the end I was crying weekly over how much I hated it. Lucky for me, my husband agreed that I could quit to stay home for a while with E, and figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life.
I have no idea how this is going to work out, which is way scary for a control freak like me. But, the sun is shining, I have home-made bread rising in the kitchen, and my daughter and dog are currently napping. Oh, forgot to introduce the dog...Charlie the beagle is the cutest, funniest dog you will ever meet. Anyway, I don't know if anyone will read this, but I figured I could use a diary, and hey, my handwriting sucks. More later, time to get the laundry started :-)
