Introductions

Well hello there and welcome. Thanks for dropping by! No, no, you didn't need to call first, I was just feeding the munchkin. Here, let me cover up my boobs *readjusting* okay, decent. Nice to meet you!

Okeydokey. Hey, look, I don't really do the uncomfortable silences very well. Do you want to hear a little bit about me? No? Well, too bad. I like to talk, so sit down and have a listen. It shouldn't take too long.

My name is Staci. I am a 26 year old new mom, trying to figure out this whole marriage and kids thing. My husband is Leon, and the ankle biter is Samantha. I use the term "ankle biter" in all honesty. She really does like to knaw on legs if she reaches them. A little background would be helpful, you say? Sure thing, I aim to please. I am a Coast Guard wife and a mommy to the most BEAUTIFUL 9 month old daughter ever. Okay, so maybe I am a little biased, but can you blame me? I didn't think so.

My husband is currently stationed in Alaska, so here I am, in the middle of ALASKA! I was born and raised in Louisiana, so this is a *little* out of my comfort zone. I am an insomniac, chocolate making, cake decorating, booze loving, hot mama who really wishes she could be lazy for a whole hour at a time. Ahh, what a vacation that would be...just reading or playing a game on the computer. I can almost see it now. The beach chair, sand, alcoholic beverage served in a coconut. Damn, I drooled on the laptop again. I really have to stop doing that. Anyways, moving on.... I am a workaholic, however am a stay at home mom. Sound crazy? It is. However, being a SAHM is so much harder than I thought it would be. Do you know that a 9 month old crawling baby can/does get into everything? I figured that one out.

I am so very new to this whole blogging thing, but ya know, I read blogs every day, so I think I have the general gist of things...kinda, sorta, maybe. Okay, probably not at all, but so what! I will get the hang of it. What, you want to know why I am all of a sudden jumping on the blogwaggon? I think that this whole mom thing is awesome and all, but I have somehow turned from party girl to wife to mommy. I am hoping that I can find my way back to a happy medium somehow, and if along the way I make some new friends, get some good advice, or just let other moms know that they aren't the only ones dealing with it...well, I think I can handle that. Until next time...

  2. Yes! She is only 18 months, so she is still just a puppy, but she is the BEST dog I have ever had. And she loves the kid! I will never stray from the Boxer breed now. I'm hooked.

  4. Love boxers but have two Spanish Water Dogs. My first visit to your blog and loving it so far. .. Have just started my own blog so pop on over when you have a minute. Your post made me laugh and bought back so many memories of when my son was that young. Trust me, the years go by sooooo fast. Enjoy!!!
