I'm Back

I finally gave up on trying to rekindle my old blog on modblog. Forgetting my password, I couldn't seem to set up a new one and being blogging again. My fellow bloggers convinced me to just start over. So I finally relented, only to discover that my old name "teachermom" was not available at this new site. Damn, I thought. Now I had to think of a name. So I tossed around a few. I didn't want to sound bitter, boring or ungrateful. I tossed around names like Homebound (which is what I felt like yesterday when reading posts from others about making plans to see movies, knowing I would be at home with the kids), Time Alone (Something I really need more of, but can't seem to find a solution to), or Diaper Duty (A realization that I'd be changing diapers for the next 3 years!...sometimes doing doubleduty). But as I looked around my house, seeing all the domestic chores that needed to be done, but that I loathe and couldn't bring myself to do, I decided upon UnDomestic. This was a term my husband's grandmother shared with me when we were talking one day. She told me she was not very domestic....I'd never heard an older woman say that before. My grandmother lives to cook and clean. I try all tactics to avoid it (including writing blogs). So I my new name is chosen, my first entry written, I'm back!!!
