OMG Not another introdution post!?!?!

ManateearmzManateearmz member
in Working Moms

I would like to preface this by saying that I think ?introduction? posts are usually very boring and lame. So if you opened this, than thank you and I?m sorry in advance.

After being on TB for a while I just noticed this board buried among the plethora of boards to the left of my screen.  I would love to join you ladies, and if you see me randomly popping in here or there you now have a face (?--------Chris Farley as el nino) to go with the post.

I am one of the women that idiot people refer to as letting another person raise her baby. I work 40 hours a week and as soon as I get home, I switch into full blown mommy mode.  I work to help put food on the table, to provide my daughter with a good life, and to provide myself with some non-baby related sanity.

I am extremely snarky, believe in humor in every situation, and I am not easily offended. I?m here to have fun, not look for support. I have bad grammar, but I embrace that.

I?d offer cookies for reading my post??.but who am I kidding I don?t have time to bake, and I ate the one that I just bought.

    I am a lot like you. I just started posting on this board b/c I was looking through all the boards and noticed this one about a week ago. :) I also agree that intro threads are lame on most boards but yours was pretty interesting. However, I can't accept you as a bump friend because you admitted to having bad grammar. (j/k)

    Who needs to bake when you can eat pre-made cookie dough straight out of the tub?

    Ok.

    But how will you answer the plethora of "I want to quit my job to be home raising my kids but need to earn $40k/year so what can I do working from home?" questions that get posted here?

    Easy! Run a hooker/happy ending massage parlor out of your home. That's the simple answer, but I don't have any of the "zomg how do I file my taxes!?!" answers to go along with that.

    Even better! I'll need to know if this comes with health insurance benefits. If so count me in! Business name Manatee might only cater to a certain crowd, hmmm I'll need some time to develop my business plan.

    The whole introduction thing on some boards cracks me up.  Like I have time to keep track of introductions, much less call people out for not having made a formal introduction (the board I'm referring to shall remain nameless). 

    Some more snark around here will be fun.

    Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

    Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

    Perfect solution for all the people who post about how do I work at home still and manage to avoid that pesky issue of childcare. (Because for some, apparently WFM = no need to find and pay a sitter / daycare person).

    Set up a webcam and while your kid naps, Mama can start raking in the dollars. ZOMG, I am totally quitting my job and doing this.

     

    Did anyone see the Lisa Ling  "Our America" special about amateur porn? There was a mom and dad that 'performed' after their toddler was in bed at night. Maybe they are onto something.........

And by the way, after spending much time on TB during TTC, all the tri's and now the Babies 0-3- I just noticed this forum a couple of days ago as well, so I'm thrilled to start getting to know you ladies so I'm as prepared as possible for the mixed feeling meltdown I'm sure to have in 2 months when I have to go back to work Tongue Tied

    Okay, this thread just made me want to start posting here!

    This can serve as my intro because I think they're pretty lame too!

    We could always start a sex line. :) Might be a great way to pay for college!
