Well hello there to all of you out in Blog Reader's Land! Welcome to my blog! I can't promise it will be informative, educational, or even entertaining, but what I can promise is that it will be a deep insight into the scary recesses of my mind. Which wont really be that deep as my mind really isn't very deep. Or deep at all. Or even resembling anything more than a shallow pit of meandering musings really. So there you have it. Read at your own peril!!!
I really just started this blog as I waste (sorry, did I just say "waste"??? I meant "invest", of course) a significant part of my day reading other people's blogs. Now I am NOT by any means suggesting that I can do any better. Or even as well. But I figure if I am sitting at my computer anyway, I'm actually better off doing something with these keys in front of me, rather than just constantly scrolling down with the mouse! My poor left hand is atrophying from lack of use (well, slight exaggeration maybe, but I am definately getting eyestrain from doing so much reading on the screen, and the letters on the keyboards really are much bigger!!). So I thought I'd create a blog, just to get these meandering thoughts out of my head (hopefully decluttering it for slightly more important things!) And my sister, the recipient of many of these thoughts but in text message form, will hopefully be thankful that she gets a bit of a reprieve!
A bit about me and the people in my life? "Yes Please", I hear you all yell! I (like approximately 90% of bloggers out there) am a mum, coming up to approaching a milestone birthday (I hear 40 is the new 30. Can we make it the new 20, as at 30 I was pregnant and I really do NOT want to turn 40 and find myself pregnant again! Shudder). Three children: Miss Just-turned-8, Miss 6 (and a half), and The Ratbag, just turned 4. I'll think of more interesting names for them as we go along, right now the only ones I can think of are Princess Attitude, and Sookybum, which are only a snapshot of how I am feeling right now, not in general. Actually Princess Attitude is pretty fitting for her most of the time, but Sookybum is 85% of the time Miss Lovely, Helpful, Kind, Sweet Gentle One, which is a slightly long name. But she's just having a bit of a Middle Child Moment right now, which I understand, I recognise, I appreciate that it is her way of getting much needed attention.....but I hate! I cant say I particularly like Princess Attitude's attitude either, but I can recognise that she will actually end up as the Leader of the Country, if not the World, with this attitude, so I remove myself from her and go read a blog. (Or more often, engage in an argument, that spirals into destructive sarcasm (from me) and screaming (from her) and crying (from.... well, both of us, and probably the neighbours who are slightly sick of hearing about it)) And The Ratbag - well, the name says it all, really! He was such a nice baby, and even a delightful toddler, and then he turned 3. He is still cute, and sweet, but now has noisy, stubborn and (just a tad) spoilt thrown into the mix, meaning that for the past year, he has driven us mad by having a tantrum, then seconds later running up and saying "I wuv you mummy, you're nice and squishy". Keeps us on our toes, really! Helping me (sort of) with the madness of parenthood, is Mr I Work Very Long Hours So Am Not Around Often But Am A Very Good Father On Weekends. Again, a slightly long name, so lets just call him ...... Fred! Not because that is his name, but just because it is a name that I don't know anybody that has it, and it is so far removed from who he is (he's really NOT a Fred at all!) so nobody will recognise him. Not that there is any chance of that anyway, but this is a person who (whom? Really must learn the difference one day) wont even let me mention him on Facebook, in case somebody steals his identity. (Paranoid much?)
So that is the bare bones of the most important people in my life, one of who (whom?) needs to get to swimming lessons in approximately 4 minutes. So I'll post this one now, and see if it actually works!!!
Oh, PS, as the name of my blog suggests, and the content of this post confirms, I am a major procrastinator! So instead of doing the washing, housework, feeding kids, (or even getting them to swimming lessons on time - argh!) I find things like ....blogging! And even when blogging, I managed to say pretty much nothing, and spent a lot of time and probably unneccessary words doing it. So welcome to my thought processes!
