About Mel

Thanks to the economy, I have recently become a stay-at-home mom after working full-time for many years. I have three children - ages 9, 4 and 2. I will be married 10 years this year and it's a miracle we both survived one another. Alas, we are here. I am here...this is my story.

As a mother of three, one would think I have my act together. And sometimes I can sell that I have my act together. But underneath it all, my spirit is yelling 'help!' The problem is I was raised Jewish. Well, that is not necessarily a problem, but the guilt that goes along with that identification can cut like a knife.

So my struggle is figuring out how to laugh at the absurd, how not to let my children make me cry and to say sane enough that my friends still like me - all without that underlying nagging feeling that I am wronging my children.

I figured I start documenting my tumultuous and entertaining life. At least I find it entertaining. I hope you do, too.
