Introducing a true desperate "housewife"

Hello. Is anybody out there?
I am starting this blog because I was inspired by an article in Sunday's Washington Post about a woman who uses the "stripper" name Diablo Cody and how she started this blog about her experiences as a stripper and caught the attention of some Hollywood people and now she is the "it" girl for her generation in terms of a "voice". It all came out to me as a young person full of angst writing about their rebelious "finding themselves" time which simply makes me want to vomit because it is just the same story over and over with different adjectives. Very clever descriptive phrases she uses- just the right amount of I-am-so-fucking-smart-I-can-use-really-obscure-references kind of descriptions mixed in with offensive language and some current pop culture slang. Each generation has one and it just cracks me up how people oooh and aaahh over this stuff when it happens repeatedly. Anyway, I thought "Hey if this persons stripper experiences resonated with her generation because it was her last act of rebellion against her childhood of priveledge then maybe a blog about facing the stresses of a normal life as a wife and mother may resonate with my peers".

So first I must introduce myself. .. I will just call myself M as a reference to what I am called the most, Mom being dominant. About me:
I am always thinking about how average I am and how dissappointed I am about that. Things that are average about me:
-I am five feet four inches tall
-I wear a size 7 and a half shoe
-I have two children, a son and a daughter
-I am divorced once and currently married
-I have a dog
-We own four vehicles including my son's car
-I have brown hair, brown eyes, and medium olive skin
-I am decended from Europeans
-I fall in the baby-boomer population by definition
-My house is 2000 square feet in size
-I live in a mid sized town with a population of 275,000
-I wear glasses sometimes
-We have cable and internet
-I have some credit card debt
-I come from a dysfunctional family
-My mother and father were divorced
-Most of my friends are from the same race I am
-I do not like my mother-in-law
-I struggle in my marriage
-I make less money than my husband
-My mother worked and I had to go to a babysitter after school

Things that are not average about me:
-I love the arts
-I am a writer for a local paper
-My daughter is now on a gluten free diet for her hyperactive behavior
-I look a lot younger than I am
-I drive a hybrid car
-I beleive that being patriotic is about protecting the environment rather than possessing a gun
-Everyone for several generations in my family has gone to college and many have earned advanced degrees
-I have a Masters degree
-My husband is an alchohalic
-I stay in shape and am the ideal weight for my height and frame
-I watch very little television

-I get up around 5:30am so I can write and meditate
-I cook breakfast and dinner for my family almost every day

It is my hope that I and the people who read this blog will be entertained, informed, and find a support group of people who are also struggling to stay sane in our crazy world. I am tired now and need to go to bed.

More another time.
