I renamed my blog
I have renamed my blog. I thought about calling it a few different things...

The new and improved housewife (but I'm not so sure that's true)

Maria-- Wife, Mother, and Weirdo (but I'm so much more than just that)

Maria's World (it was just too stupid to consider)

I looked at old entries and started thinking, "What is Maria's world right now?" Then I saw Transitions and Poop. This is truly my world.

I'm no longer employed, but I still think like a statistician. I might be a housewife, but I hate the term and I don't think I fit the traditional role of housewife anyway. I guess that means I'm in transistion. Transition to what? Well, your guess is as good as mine.

And with a baby comes much poop. But it's more than just the baby pooping in my life. I have a husband, dog, and two ferrets-- not to mention myself. So like most lives, mine is full of poop that I have to deal with somehow or another.

As a child and a starry-eyed teenager, I had this plan for a dream life. It didn't include staying at home or adoption or statistics or most of the things that are my life. I'm happy though. I'm so much happier than I ever would have been in my dream life.

I have discovered that a truly happy life is always in transition and alway filled with poop. And hence, the new name for my blog is "Transitions and Poop". It's my prescription for a good life.

My husband is good poop, not bad poop
