I want these.
I wish I'd know about them sooner- I would've ordered them for all my friends (especially the bat shit crazy Republican ones).

So here's my first blog entry. I'm new to this whole blogging thing so give me a break about it. I don't have any concrete plans for subjects or themes for this blog- just general, everyday shit I come across, encounter, think about or whatever.

My life isn't all that interesting but some of my friends and co-workers think it's amusing. Mostly it's just completely dysFUNctional. It's certainly not the life I thought I would be living but it's mine. Mostly it's a good life but there are some really sucky thing. I'll probably focus a lot on the sucky because that is usually the entertaining part. This is definately an adult blog- with adult themes and language. If you're easily offended, do us both a favor and read something else.

The title of the blog- I asked some friends during a recent conversation what I should call my blog and we couldn't come up with a title. A few minutes later, my friend J. said something about us being haters so I just adopted it for the time being. I may change it later- I may not.

A little about me- I'm in my early 30's. Married and a mother of 4. Part of the catharsis for this blog is to have something for me though. I'm not a typical suburban soccer mom. We're liberal parents with sometimes unconventional parenting skills. Sometimes I even suck as a mom and screw up. I don't worry about it. I figure I turned out ok and I do the best I can for my kids. Ultimately, their choices are theirs to make. I can guide them, but I can't control them.

I am more than just a wife and mother. I've been defined by that role for most of my adult life and I'm over it. I love my kids but I am determined to be more than just someones mom.

My husband is in the military but after 15 years, I am over that too. I am tired of the military lifestyle and tired of the endless bullshit. Don't expect this to be a pro military or a typical military spouse blog.

I'm also a flaming liberal democrat. I despise G.W. - think he is quite possibly the worst president in history. I'm interested in politics and committed to my belief system but I don't know as much as I would like to.

I also recently started a new job as a "telecommunicator". Basically- I take calls for the sheriff's department. I take 9-1-1 calls and will (hopefully) dispatch deputies. It's a large agency so the dispatch and radio duties are separate. It's interesting and mostly I like it. There are some frustrations, just like any other job. I'll probably make some blog entries about the interesting things I encounter at work. So far, my co-workers have provided way more entertainment than the callers so don't expect to hear all about the calls in the future.

That's all for now. I might (or might not) post about bleeding anuses tomorrow so stay tuned...

p.s. I know that I shouldn't use ellipses all the time but I like them so I plant to use them frequently and incorrectly- get over it :)
