mom is a penguin

OK.  So here is the thing.  I am a mom, and a lawyer, and a wife and various other things, including writer and carpenter.  I am now a blogger as well.  I will be posting various things, stories and photos of projects I have done or am working on.  What I would like to accomplish primarily is to get these things off my chest without actually having to talk to anyone.  So there you have it.

I will being my blog by telling you why mom is a penguin.  I sat with my father one day, watching my daughter swim in his hot tub.  She is three.  She played with her cups and sang the following song in her little singsong voice, quietly and to herself, which pretty much speaks for itself.  I am quoting, not paraphrasing here.

"Mom is my angel, she is my best, my best.
  Mom is so sweet and nice she is my friend.
  Mom is an angel an angel an angel.
  Mom is not an asshole, she is not an asshole.
  Mom is not an asshole, no she is not.
  Mom is not an asshole, she is more like a penguin.  More like a penguin.
  Not an asshole, a penguin...."


So there you have it.  Now I will figure out how to post pictures and things and I will be with you shortly.
