Picture it: a quaint (ish) rural town in North-Central PA in the early 80's. Two smallish girls - one with long, thick auburn hair; the other with shorter, strawberry blond Dorothy Hamill hair - standing in front of a small preschool. That's where our story begins...the story of Keelie and Courtney.
Flash forward over a quarter of a century: Keelie's a workin' momma to one gorgeous albeit very attitudinal 4 year-old girl. She's also in grad school. She and her hubster (currently working third-shift in a hospital) live close to both sets of their parents. Courtney is a stay-at-home-Momma to three gorgeous albeit very attitudinal kidlets (ages 6, 4, and 2). Her hubster is a 9-5 Engineer. They live nowhere near any of their family. Though they lead very different lives, one thing remains the same: their friendship. Through thick and thin, good times and bad, ups and downs...Keelie has been a constant in Courtney's life.
So...now that you have very abbreviated back-story, I'll get to the point (and stop writing in third-person). For our own semi-warped and nerdy entertainment, Keelie and I are going to somewhat randomly and tandemly post about our experiences as Mommies/Wives. Each week we will choose a topic that we're both dealing with (sick kids, sleep deprivation, weather issues, etc.), and we'll post on our respective blogs. Hey - I warned you that we were semi-nerds.
Seeing as we don't live in close proximity to each other, this is a way for us to: a) not run up the phone bill catching up, b) vent about the frustrations we both deal with, and c) bore the hell out of all of you. Read if you want. Don't read if you don't want to. It's your choice. And either way it's a win-win situation for us. Be forewarned though - if you choose to read, please don't attack. Neither of us will put up with that kind of childish nonsense. We have enough childish nonsense to deal with as parents.
So...Randomly Tandemly. Hope you enjoy it as much as we plan to!! The first edition will be posted tomorrow...or sometime soon. The topic? The Sickies.
P.S. Keelie's blog is listed on the right side of this page. Or you can click on her name.
