10 things you really need to know
January 2, 2007 – 7:34 amUpdated 12/27/07.
- My name is Jenny.
- I’m a mom.
- I have a 4 1/2 year old boy
- who we’ll call “CJ”
- (that’s not his real name, FYI, but how would YOU feel if your mom was writing blogs about your poop and pee and other embarassing habits and posting them into the wide world webernet where your future hoodlum friends could find them and use them to torment you??? That’s what I thought.)
- A year ago I quit my job in order to spend more time with CJ.
- I’m married.
- We live in Seattle in a VERY OLD house that we have slowly been renovating. It will never be done, despite the thousands and thousands of dollars and hours that we dump into it. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER.
- At times I tend towards the dramatic.
- I’m really very extremely pathetically glad that you’re reading my blog. Go ahead… make my day by commenting. Believe me, I read every single one.

Jenny, you rock! You’re so funny. I had a good time reading your posts. It broke the tedium of my morning … Friday mornings are my house-cleaning mornings. But that’s just my silly OCD taking control over me.
You have a cheerful day!
