This is me

I am 38.  I am a mother of a teenager and two nearly teenagers.  I am a wife of 18 years.  I am a daughter, a sister, a cousin, a workmate, a neighbour and a friend.  I would like to say I am no-one's enemy.  However, with my potty mouth and penchant for poo humour, perhaps I have made an enemy out of the odd, zero-sense of humour type, along the way.  I love to eat, I love to talk, I love to laugh.  I don't pray, but I admire those who do.

Right enough with the serious.  The above paragraph describes me somewhat.  Here's the rest (yes its a little self-deprecating - but its a character flaw of mine!!).  I am chubby, only 2 inches taller than the legal height of a dwarf, I have hairy big toes (just like a hobbit) that I keep at bay with my trusty razor.  I (regularly) overuse exclamation marks, en-dashes and bracketing in my writing - and make no excuses for it!!!  I constantly correct people's grammar (in my head and also directly depending on who it is).  I taught my kids naughty nursery rhymes from when they could speak.  I make fun of my husband incessantly but I love him with all of my being.  Sometimes I like our cat more than our kids.  I swear - a lot, but I can watch my p's and q's when required - and even pull off the "prim and proper act" regularly.  I am a tidy freak - but on certain days am happy to snooze atop an unfolded washing pile in the sun.  I am a germ-a-phobe - we don't share utensils or cups around here!!  I could keep on going about myself - but I'm sure you get the idea.  I'm far from perfect - but that's okay.

I think one of the things people do - and I am often guilty of this - is take themselves too seriously.
I believe if we can't take a moment to laugh at ourselves and the situations we find ourselves in, then this life will be a long and boring road.  

I feel strongly about many things but as I have travelled through the years to this point, I have realised, that my opinion, is just that - mine.  There are times and places for this opinion to be shared, and others where I need to keep it to myself.  I honestly believe I have enough experience and have been through enough difficult journeys, to entitle me to have an opinion on many things.  This blog is the place where I can give these opinions and perhaps an insight into how to negotiate your way through the tough times.

So, with that in mind, I will embark on an attempt to both entertain and enlighten you with my life experiences.  I have often thought of writing a book or finding some other way of telling this story. And happily, I think, through this blog, I have stumbled upon the perfect way of sharing it.  I can remain anonymous, yet still share with real people and hear what real people have to say.

Watch this space - I shall be here regularly.
