It all has to begin somewhere...

So here it is ladies and gentlemen..


After much deliberation and contemplation I finally gave into the beast and sold my soul to the internet. Yep, not only do I have a brand spanking new blog I have also decided to Twitter about this as well. I have completely lost my mind. Now hopefully this won't be the saddest blog on the face of the planet with no one reading it.

Now, why do you call yourself a gothic mommy some may ask? Strangely enough I have seen an interesting pattern to some parents. Now, I won't generalize that all parents do this but in my observation that once someone has kids there are various types of parents. There is, for example, the am I the ultimate uber parents. The uber parent is a parent who completely looses themselves in parenting and it is their only means of existence. Now there is nothing wrong with being all about one's children but there is no sense of identity. There is the sports parent, who is at all the sporting events, and seems to be reliving their youth through their child. I could go on for days and days with my observations but back to the subject at hand. While out at the playground and other events with my child (now children) there were never any "alternative parents" out and about. While out with my son at the playground and sporting some really awesome dreads parents were looking at me like I was there to eat their children instead of watching my son play. Honestly do you really think there is such a thing as Goth mommy monster out there that is going to sprinkle magic powder and convert your children? If there was such a conversion dance I would have done it years ago to make clothes shopping much easier and affordable when I was in high school. (Yes, when I was in high school there was no Goth in a boxes at your local mall.)So I figured that out there somewhere there are other strange parents who are just as lost as me in this wild world of parenting and this might make them feel like they are not the only ones. So, come embark with me on the adventure of a stranger in a strange land called parenthood.
