New year, new me .... Or something.

Here we go!

Welcome, the handful of you who followed me here from Facebook.

This is where my thoughts will go to die.
Or hopefully, reach a larger audience and I can be all "Whoo hoo, it started because five people on Facebook told me I should really consider writing a book! but I was like 'nah because i am lazy and books take years, I'm lucky if I focus on something longer than ten minutes.' so I made a blog, which i can dedicate like a month to and forget about like every other blog i've ever made in my entire life"

Just kidding. I'm really excited for this endeavor and will be pumping out content as often as I can, so welcome!

To start I figured I'd mention a little about myself and family.
I've been divorced and married, once. I had two pretty awesome boys with my ex, J & B. I met my SO about five years ago, I. He had a son from his previous marriage, T. And together we've had our own son, E. We are a mixed-race-blended family. At least, that's what the internet told me to refer to us as. To me we're just us and it's chaos all the time.
We have too many animals, too little time and, in my opinion, a lot of fun. I'm always starting something new or trying out new things with my brats or animals..


ANYWAY. This is just my starting point, if I gain enough traction/a big enough audience I have plans for a more inclusive website/forum for "normal" moms, I have a ton of ideas for that but, as I am often distracted, I don't want to invest into something that will require a level of dedication I don't yet have.

I would like, before ending this, because I'm best in short bursts, explain my choosing of
                     Meta-mom-phosis. 

I was pretty set on a website/handle/username that implied change or growth, because personally, I feel that is exactly what motherhood/womanhood/adulthood is about.
And I'm a fucking adult and I will change and I will grow and I never, ever, ever want to become stagnant. But since I'm a mom, love a good play on words and may or may not read Kafka on the regular, there you go. (If you heard the dad from My Big Fat Greek Wedding saying "there you go," add me right now. We are destined to be friends.)

I'm out. More to come. No promises.
