About me

About me

I’m a Mum, I live on a hill.  I have three children and a husband.  I’m a solicitor and I also hold down a full-time job of cleaner, cook, appointment maker and teacher, like I said, I have kids and a husband.  I decided to start a blog for my own sanity, as a way to reassure myself that I am slightly ‘normal’ and perhaps there are other Mum’s out there who sometimes kind of feel the same.  Although, I’m under no assumption that anyone will actually read this, other than my husband and that’s only to see if I’ve mentioned him. 

All my children are equally spaced, the third being the absolute final.  ‘The first born’, ‘the girl’ and ‘the little one’.   The first born is the sensible one, he can be thoughtful and protective of his siblings and he makes me very proud.  The girl is unique and an inspiration to us all, she battles a form of lung disease but you’d be forgiven for thinking there was nothing wrong with her, she also lives in her pajamas.  I’ve yet to determine the little one’s personality but I’d say he’s more like his sister and he’s always smiling.  I love my kids, in fact I pretty much sacrifice myself for them, but that’s OK, it’s what I signed up for.  I ensure they are all fed and taken care off until their teeth are sparking, their clothes are clean and they live reasonably happy lives.  I’m not sure if I actually succeed at this but it’s my current and ongoing ‘Mum objective’. 

I spend my days sleep deprived and explaining to people that I am sleep deprived to ensure they know there is a completely valid reason for my appearance.  I survive on tea, chocolate and red wine, then some more tea, usually in that order throughout the day.  On the side I hold down a part time job where I get to speak with real life adult people, drink hot tea and wee with the door closed.  My office persona includes me looking presentable, engaging in appropriate adult conversation and offering real life people legal advice which will not result in either them or me being thrown in prison (somewhere I suspect I would get to sleep all night but wouldn’t much like the tea).
