Relenting...

My husband has been urging me to blog forever. His motivations are that of your typical Northwest convert, formerly SF Bay Area denizen, definite Cal Engineer computer geek variety. I can hear him say, "Dude! Blogging chicks are hot." However, as a frustrated, oft depressed stay-at-home Mommy of three with huge crazy (and now that's it's close, scary) law school aspirations just on the horizon once our youngest goes to school next year, I haven't seen the need to spread my humor, insanity, despair, frustrations, in essence my malaise ad nauseum with the world. Who reads this crap?! Okay, I do, especially as a recovering mormon, Dooce.

However, a line was crossed. My husband mindlessly steals my material . Let's reference his latest Quivering Beaver. Ahem...my idea which was stolen without remorse. Another favorite, the 87 cent store? Yep, my quote while in a trip to Vancouver again assumed as his own. Eunuchs equal "sexual harassment." Well, you are getting the idea. He gives me no credit and I am starting to sound like Rodney Dangerfield here. Not one line. Not even a footnote or general disclaimer such as, "humor and/or original thought on my blog may not be my own. "

Do we really think that Computer Geek guy can come up with this all on his own? No, all we women know behind ever C.G. is a wife that has dastardly formed him into a Gap wearing, well hygiened, ambitiously career-minded, socially capable man of the community. We even have our first date in months tonight at a town hall meeting. How freaking civic minded of us!

I, in fact have so trained him that this latest version of my computer geek guy --let's call him C.G. 10.0.2 --now admits to voting based on my notes in my ballot book. Blahahah...I will rule the world. I now effectively have two votes. If we ever move back to California, my vote will be the equivalent of 14 due to ridiculously low voter turnout and apathy.

Back on topic, does any one really care to hear my kind of crazy? Can anyone really relate to a gay-marriage believing, once army lieutenant, raised Mormon now agnostic, tree hugging, highly patriotic, former PTA President, dyed in the wool Republican, and first and foremost Mommy? I just don't make sense... Why do you persist in still reading?

Wishing you weren't so relentless, C.G. 10.0.2?
