Today through Wednesday are school holidays, so I've got Jake at home, expect little blogging until Friday at the earliest. But I also have things to do on Friday, so it might be next week before I get 'round to more observations.
I don't want this blog to turn into a simple recounting of my week and the (sometimes) interesting things that happen to me. I always wanted to deliver a kind of meta-narrative on what its like about being a SAHD. But that sure does seem to get harder to do as I continue along this path. There are only so many times you can revisit the "Wow, lookit how much more time we have!" theme. Is this a silly concern of mine? Do people who try ther meta-narrative have ideas for how they are able to keep it fresh? Feel free to comment.
Finally, I can't help but comment on the Celebrity Babies site. I've gotten quite a lot of hits from the folks over there (and I love them all!) but I just have to ask the question: Why are coming here? I like to think Homo Domesticus provides entertainment, education, and witty social commentary, but it does seem a step or two removed from the starry offspring trail! Not that I'm complaining! Far from it. I'm just, you know, curious. Please leave a comment and tell me what you like/dislike. Or even if you're just trying new links. One thing about blogs is you can get reader input and decide to make changes if you feel like it.

Hello Stay-at-home Dad,
My name's Kelly and I just wanted to say hello. I found your site when I was researching a search string that brought someone to MY site: "jake, write, blogspot." I've found when you keep a free-form sort of journal, you get hits from the oddest places. I'm obsessed with finding out who's reading me. Not many, from what I can tell. They find me thru search strings like "floppy boobs" and "sexy pictures of benazir bhutto" but I doubt that they stick around when they find out I'm blogging about my son.
I have a Jake also (just turned one), and my husband is a SAHD. I like your blog. Keep it up. Just let go and don't worry about revisiting themes too often. If a theme consistenly re-appears, it's obviously something that needs working through and writing about.
Cheers,
Kelly
I came for the sexy pictures of Benazir Bhutto, I'm not gonna lie...Seriously, though.
