Who am I and why bother with this blog?

As nearly everyone is aware, or at least everyone with internet access or living in a country where that's very common know there are a bazillion blogs out there. What I haven't found are a bazillion or very many blogs at all that are in English and are made by Muslimahs who are homemakers. Therefore I will fill the gap, or attempt to do so.I am by no means perfect, may Allah guide me ameen, so I will make no promise to blog every x period of time. Seriously, I'm pregnant, have a toddler and homeschool my ten year old. What I can commit to is honestly sharing my experience and my ambitions, inshallah.So who is this woman making me, JP McReader, a promise, or nor promising as the case may be?Well I am not going to give you my name because I do have to account for nut jobs out there but I can tell you why bother with this blog.Because though I feel bashful to admit it, I AM actually a person of VERY interesting circumstances. A Muslimah, an American muslimah, a WHITE American Muslimah, a white American Muslimah from the bible belt living in the mountain west in a  Mormon town who HOMESCHOOLS her 10 year old from a previous marriage and who's exhusband is not nor has ever had any interest in being Muslim  AND this bloggers husband and exhusband hang out sometimes for the fun of it, AND who's husband has always been a welcomed part of her oldest's sons life AND this blogger wears hijab AND is a feminist AND is a political progressive very left wing, proudly so AND who most of her friends are conservative right wingers AND who was adopted by her second cousin when she was 3 AND has 2 brothers, and no sisters BUT has 3 sisters and 4 brothers biologically AND didn't grow up knowing that part of her family AND has a GED as well as spent 3 years going to college year round AND was her Job Corps equivalent of valedictorian and gave a much better speech, agreed all around, than the special guest speaker AND this blogger has over come clinically diagnosed major depression AND this blogger is the mother of a amazing 10 year old and a adorable 1 year old AND this blogger has 11 LONG weeks experience as a mom in the NICU AND this blogger is now 15 months into parenting a former 27 weeker micro premmie with IUGR and who is delayed with gross motor skills, and who took this long to get big enough to even be on the adjusted age growth chart at a whopping 2.25% AND who has experience, 10 years, in parenting a child that is very easily overstimulated most especially by noises AND this blogger loves meeting new people AND this speaker is a big NPR junky AND this blogger is a really nice lady who wants to share her pursuits of homemaking and homeschooling with anyone interested! AND who now at 3:29 am is finally going to BED! After she pees of course, being pregnant and all.
