And so it begins ...

And so I have decided to start a new chapter in my life.  Funnily enough, in roughly 8 weeks time I will give birth to my 3rd child, so you could argue that that will be a new chapter.  But it will be my 3rd child.  Pfft .. which means I can do this with my eyes closed (this is where you go .. 'sure sure, we'll read about your hardships in a couple of months')!  

I used to write a lot when I was younger and I was quite good.  I had quite a lot of things to vent about as I was an angst ridden teenage girl, then uni student and had a few adventurous moments in my life.   I was lucky enough to travel a bit too and of course have a family that provides endless moments to write about (but, don't we all??).  

Then at almost 27 I became pregnant with Sprat.  I remember feeling the brain cells exiting my body with each gram of weight he put on in my belly.  Then I breast fed.   Then I got pregnant again with the baby girl.  Then I breast fed again.  Now I am pregnant again!!  As you can see, I may have lost too great an amount of brain cells to recoup, but I am willing to do everything I can to regain them!

There comes a point in your life, as a stay at home mum, that you think .. hang on.  I used to be more than a nappy changer.  I used to do some relatively intelligent things.  Is this ALL my life is now?

Don't get me wrong, I am not your typical 'career' girl.  I wanted my kids, each one of them, very much.  I wanted to be a mum and I chose this path.  But I need more.  I have a yearning to learn and expand.  So that is what I am setting out to do.

I have recently become a little infatuated with technology.  For a relative technophobe this is a big thing.  I was discussing expanding myself with a friend and he agreed that by writing a blog I could easily achieve this.  Simple to set up and with working hours to suit me, it would be the perfect transition into my expansion.

So here I am ... ready to go.  I am hoping as I become more proficient to make a better website and write better blogs.  To vent in a humourous way that will be enjoyable to read!  And I hope to share it all with you!
