I've "signed up" to be part of the Blogstalk as created by members of Knittyboard. Each week, participants post about a common theme. This week's theme is "Who Am I". Geez, people, could you have started with a bigger can of worms? I'd rather show you the mold growing in the corner of my basement. But I signed up, so here goes:
I am Robin, a 35-year-old wife and mother of two. I proofread foreclosure notices for extra money. I am mostly a stay-at-home-mom. I like to knit, but knitting is all part of the swirling vortex of housework procrastination and guilt that makes up the lion's share of my life. The result is that I knit less than I like, my house is messier than I like, and I spend too much time on this, my computer.
That pretty much sums me up. The rest of my neuroses are hidden elsewhere in this blog. Except for the really neurotic neuroses: I keep them hidden under my pillow. ;)
I'll post later this week with progress reports on the stairway and my many knitting projects. I also hope to soon write of our recent harrowing experience with the 'friendly' squirrel in the back yard. But for now, I must get the girl ready for school. And refill my coffee.

There are no friendly squirrels. They are simply rodents with longer, furrier, tails. And housework - as long as it doesn't get up and walk away, the dust bunny is fine right where it is!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! When I ready the first assignment I thought to myself, "So much for starting off gently..."
ReplyDeleteCaution: showing the mold in the corner of your basement may indeed wind up the subject of a future blogstalking assignment. In which case I'm really screwed 'cause I don't have a basement.
ReplyDeleteI wanna hear the squirrel story.
Yay! Good morning! You expressed my thoughts on knitting and housekeeping perfectly!
ReplyDeleteHow does one get into proofreading foreclosure notices? Just curious.
ReplyDeleteI think my answer to the question was to talk to much. At least you didn't try to put in your life story. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd your love of Mike Rowe! Don't forget the love of Mike Rowe!
ReplyDeleteI also agree with the sentiments on knitting, housekeeping, and computer time. There seem to be a lot of us.
What an interesting way to make extra money while still be a full time mom! I'm jealous!
