I’m one of those persons who says I will do something, but I never actually get around to doing it. Lose weight, for starters - I’ve been talking about that for years… it’s a wonder my friends don’t tune out when I start on that…I think I try to keep them interested by talking about different aspects of weight loss - yesterday it was about the fat flush diet, today it’s acupuncture for weight loss, tomorrow it’ll be joining a gym and getting a trainer, you get the idea. Or maybe I’m wrong and they’re just pretending to be interested….

Anyhow I’ve been wanting to start on a journal to record all the small wonderful things about my kids, that I’ll probably forget one day, and that will be all I have left when they finally fly the nest. It’ll have to be an electronic journal, as I can’t write with a pen and paper anymore (the words just get stuck in my head when I’m holding a pen). I figured I’d try blogging, since one of my friends has started her site and got me hooked on her blogsite by talking about her sex life, amongst other things. I mean, we’ve been friends for 5 years, and we haven’t talked about some of the things in person that she blogs about so I figure I too can really open up and be honest about my thoughts here. Anyhow I also figure that I’ll never ever get to that IT store and buy the software for an electronic journal, and this is free, so what the heck.

The other thing is, I’m hoping that by writing down what I do with my kids, what they say, what they like, what they eat and all that, I’ll make a bigger effort to be a better mum. It’s like those diets that require you to write down everything you eat, and it sort of makes you take stock of your diet, and make that change. So I might try to do things better, or spend more time with the kids, etc etc etc, if I’m actually having to record it. Does that make sense?

Anyhow I guess that’s enough explaining…

oh and don’t be surprised if I end up not talking about the kids at all…. sometimes a woman needs to vent about all the shitty things in her life, and I’m sure as hell not starting another blog for that…
