Welcome to my Head!

Hello! (hello hello hello)

Well.  This is nice!  It all feels a bit 'me me me' at first this blogging malarkey doesn't it?  I will attempt to break through the wall of cringe and write stuff about me.  And my family.  And my work.  And whichever current whim has taken my fancy...of which there will be plenty. 

So I suppose anyone reading this will have looked at my profile and know that 'busy' is an understatement.  But then I'm not 'busy' in the grown up, organised, well thought out sense.  I am not good at keeping to lists, often pretend I have forgotten that my children haven't showered since last Sunday and my usual housework routine consists of a quick dusting of the window sill in the front room with the cuff of my cardigan sleeve.  But I do try, I really do.  I actually believe that The Laziness isn't a failing, it's a personality trait and therefore allowed.  I am what I am and all that.

So, this week the boys went back to school properly.  I try to be one of those mums who likes the summer holidays, but I completely don't.  I do actually like my children, but they are so very noisy and they eat so much.  The Laziness means that I occasionally fall short on things like painting and cutting and sticking but again, I do try.  On the first morning back, waiting in the school playground...willing the door to open...I was attempting  to make light conversation with The School Mums.  I was like 'Yay!  They're back!  I can watch Loose Women in my pyjamas again without feeling guilty!' (well, at least until titchy girl (Chickpea) gets a bit bigger and notices that her mother is a domestic slut).  But some of them took great pleasure in sweetly replying that they have 'loved every minute' and will 'miss the chatter' etc.  So I had to pretend I was being ironic and that I didn't spend six long weeks rarrring at my noisy lot. Making random wild threats about year long groundings and Nintendo DS centred arson.  Pffft. 

Well I think that is quite enough wafflage for a first blog entry.  Off I pop.
