Sooo.... there's that.

I've decided to start a blog. Obviously, if you're reading this, this isn't news to you. Or if it is news to you, I wanna trade my Valium for whatever YOU'RE on. Seriously - I'll brown bag lunch swap ya for realz!

I'm not really sure why I decided to start a blog. Well, that's not entirely true... I had a bad day last week. It's been a while since I've had a bad day. And I had Valium and cookies for dinner. (Don't worry, I made the small human mac n cheese instead of just cookies. Although I did let her have a cookie while it was on the stove cooking.) Anyway, the point of the story was that I liked the way the phrase rolled off the tongue: Valium and cookies for dinner. And I said to myself, "Self," I said, "that would make a fantastic blog title."

So...  here we are.

Then I thought, what the hell would I write about? The more I thought about it, I realized that I don't wanna turn into one of those people on MyFace-in-a-Tube that only talks about their kids. I've been guilty of that a lot lately, and for that, my Facebook friends, I do apologize.

So here's the deal: this is where I will be my mommy persona - the single mom venting about schedules and the sitter and the baby daddy, etc. - and the proud mama sharing all the super cute stuff the small human has decided to bestow upon the rest of us poor mortals. Oh, and the full time graphic designer who is waaaay too stressed out about her job on top of all that (hence the titular Valium). Add a dash of pop culture, a dollop of bad humor and a strong sense of cynicism and what do you have? Why, I do believe we just mixed up a big batch of Valium-laced cookies!

First order of business, blog buddies: I need a stage name/online handle for the small human. A friend of mine has fabu online handles for her children: Ironflower, Lovebug and Hugmonkey. So let's hear your suggestions. Let Mission Munchkin Moniker begin!
