First Post

Not sure really what to write, not really feeling prolifically profound.  5 w's perhaps?
Who:

I am literally proof positive that shit just happens lol.

Also, I am not a terrible writer but I am not a grammar stickler and I mess up my indents sometimes...so in advance sorry but I am more of the prose school of thought I just let it flow.

I am now a 24 year old mom of a 3 year old, married and in school for my MAT.  
But a couple years ago, I was a hardened criminal justice major aspiring to be a police officer "single independent woman" lol.  Now don't go thinking this an ode to giving into gender role or my femininity crushing my dreams.
My daughter was literally just born when the economy went to shit, things just have to bend and we all must go with the ebb and flow. 
My marriage is egalitarian. Unfortunately my poor man has had to be the stay-at-home parent for most of my daughter's life due to my work experience being a little more substantial.

I will not deny that I have definitely gone back and forth between the 2 worlds of education and criminal justice.  It's sort of an internal balancing act between who you were, what your dreams were and what is that you are now, what is best for all and what is practical especially in these shaky times.

An example getting fed up and freaked out and randomly taking M.S. Criminology classes over the summer before going back to education this fall (mainly after a disheartening job search).

Anyway...I digress...man that would have been a better title for my blog...digressions bahahahah....alright back to what I was writing about.

But dually so...that's why I named my blog "Kari Kari Quite Contrary" .  I contradict myself oh well.

What:

Basically, my friend's  and I have drifted some immediately after the start of my motherhood and some due to my role as working educated Mom...as horrible and pompous as it sounds ( I don't waste my time on drivel and gossip, I am a life long learner I care about current events, art, science & politics...I prefer NOVA and Science channel to the Jersey Shore any flippin' day!). 

So this is my vehicle for venting, processing, and just plain giving commentary.  Basically, so I don't drive my husband nuts with my blabble. ;)

Where:

Well. Here.  USA. Colorado. Metro Area.

When:

When I feel the urge to type.


Why:


See what!

Nighty night.
